It most certainly is! Artificial Grass is perfectly safe and great fun for dogs and other pets. We all love our dogs but when it comes to our gardens it poses different challenges. From scratching and digging, dead or bald spots in the grass, when wet you can get muddy paw prints coming into your house and the natural grass struggles to grow where your dog has its favorite path across the lawn. Maintaining a natural lawn can prove very difficult.
Many customers have decided on artificial grass simply because they have pets and they find it more practical and easy to maintain. Dogs can still run around and do their business in the same way to a natural lawn but there is no chance of digging holes or creating a muddy mess when it rains. As for the cat the surface is warm and soft which makes it a very inviting place to stretch out on and relax.
Pets love playing on an artificial lawn and unlike a natural lawn not only will there be no holes dug but the grass will not die off and create bald patches where the pets have urinated. Just a lush looking lawn all year round. Installing an artificial lawn that can withstand the severities of dozens of dogs running and scratching as well as minimising odour presents many challenges, especially at dog kennels. After many years of research and development, we have designed the perfect synthetic grass system for dogs.
To keep your artificial Lawn for dogs and pets clean and odour-free you should install a suitable drainage system that works in conjunction with the fast-flowing holes in the backing of our grasses. It is also recommended that if you use an infill you should use a natural type that will not absorb odours. Synthetic grass will provide you and your pet a neat and tidy area for many years without the worry of muddy paws coming back into your home.
Although there are specialist drainage systems on the market which can consist of a plastic mess or air flow system, research tells us that a crushed stone base is very affordable yet, effective drainage system. To allow for maximum drainage to keep the synthetic grass dry and free of urine we have found that a depth of 75mm – 100mm is both adequate for drainage and cost effective.
