As a pet owner, creating a safe and comfortable environment for your furry family members is a top priority. This means ensuring that your backyard is not only fun for them but also free from any potential hazards that could harm your pet’s health.

One way Bay Area homeowners are achieving this is by installing pet turf. Specially designed for your pet’s needs, pet-friendly synthetic grass transforms any outdoor space into the ultimate pet-friendly paradise. Here are four ways that pet turf will help you elevate your outdoor space and make it ideal for you and your four-legged friends.

1. Eliminate Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and ticks are more than just a nuisance — they can also carry harmful diseases. Keeping pests like these under control in your yard is crucial for your pet’s overall well-being. 

With natural grass, pests like fleas and ticks can easily hide in between the blades, especially when they’re longer, making it difficult to completely get rid of them. However, synthetic grass doesn’t allow any room for these insects to thrive. This means that your pet can enjoy a tick and flea-free environment while playing and lounging on the soft turf, giving the whole family peace of mind.

2. Keep Your Lawn Clean & Sanitary

We all know pets have a habit of doing their business wherever they please, often leading to unsightly and potentially unsanitary messes on our lawns. With natural grass, pet urine and waste quickly cause chronic brown patches that leave your lawn looking patchy and unpleasant. Lingering waste can also cause bacteria growth and odors, especially when grass is long and it’s difficult to thoroughly pick up any solid waste.

With pet turf, urine drains away quickly and efficiently through the turf’s porous backing, making it difficult for any unpleasant odors to develop. This not only keeps your lawn clean and sanitary but also saves you from the hassle of having to constantly clean up after your pets. Picking up solid waste and doing a simple rinse with water weekly is all it takes to maintain a fresh and clean synthetic grass backyard.

3. Create Designated Digging Zones

Dogs have an innate natural instinct to dig. However, while they may find it entertaining, it’s incredibly destructive to your lawn and plants. With pet turf, however, you can create designated digging zones where your pup can safely indulge their digging habits without harming your landscape.

Pet turf is resistant to doggy digging thanks to the ultra-durable backing that can withstand thousands of pounds of pull force per square inch. If you don’t want your dog to dig at all, covering your entire lawn with pet turf is an ideal solution. However, many pet owners choose to create a designated digging area with a patch of dirt or sand surrounded by durable pet turf for a controlled playing environment.

4. Eliminate Lawn Chemicals

Maintaining a lush, green natural grass lawn inevitably involves the use of various chemicals, such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, which can be harmful to your pets if ingested. With pet turf, you can eliminate the need for these chemicals, ensuring your pet’s health and safety.

This is because the synthetic blades of pet turf remain the same verdant hue year-round. A synthetic turf installation also doesn’t require soil, so you can eliminate all toxic lawn chemicals when you make the switch to artificial grass landscaping. This not only reduces your maintenance requirements but also keeps your lawn safer for kids and pets to enjoy.
