Artificial turf is becoming a popular and drought-friendly alternative to traditional lush green grass. Homeowners now choose artificial grass over real grass because it requires little to no maintenance. Other than that, you do not have to water it. Simply put, you and your children can enjoy the lush green lawns all year round
One great advantage of artificial turf is that it is only safe for children but for your canine pets as well. In fact, it is more low-maintenance and resilient than the original grass when it comes to dogs tearing up or digging patches in the backyard or lawn.
Here are a few factors you need to consider before replacing original grass with artificial turf if you have a canine friend living in your house:
Many pet owners have concerns associated with pets playing on artificial grass but the main concern is: what will happen if the pet chooses to relieve itself on artificial grass?
Generally, pets relieve themselves where they know they would find a litter box, or a patch of grass/cement/gravel. However, if you introduce artificial grass, it will take just a moment for your pet to adapt to the new change. Simply put, your pet won’t relieve itself on the artificial grass right away.
But even if it does, it won’t impact your grass negatively as artificial turf is very easy to clean. All you need is a scooper and a little bit of water to clean the mess away. Optional infill can added in order to absorb pet odors and prevent that stench you hear about.
The tight yet permeable backing allows the fluids and liquids on the grass to drain. Artificial grass is pet-friendly and allows optimal draining and absorption so that you and your pet, both can be happy.
Dogs and cats can be tough to deal with, especially when they are on a bed of lush green grass. Dogs love to dig holes and scratch the grass. Their favorite thing is burrowing, which severely damages the grass and makes it challenging for the homeowner to maintain it.
Whereas, premium-quality synthetic grass offers a great combination of durability and comfort. This is what makes it ideal for pets.
Some cats and dogs can’t resist the urge to chew on artificial turf, especially it is installed newly. But synthetic grass is fine to chew as it has very few chemicals as compared to the chemically-treated original turf.
One known factor, which you need to be careful about is the presence of lead. Older artificial turds are often treated with lead to improve the durability. Lead can be harmful to pets as well as children.
Artificial grass can be enjoyed even by your four-legged family member. Not only is it easy to maintain but safe for your canine pet.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority offers rebates of up to $3 per square foot of artificial grass that you have installed up to the first 10,000 square feet. See more details and apply below.
