Choosing turf when dogs use the yard every day

Dogs change what matters in a turf yard. Drainage, infill and edges move to the top of the list.

Drainage first

The base under pet turf should let liquid pass through quickly and evenly. That keeps the surface fresh and dry.

Some infills are made for pet areas and help keep odors down. Ask which one suits your yard.

Dogs that dig usually start at an edge. Firmly fixed edges stop them before they start.

A shaded corner and a quick rinse on hot afternoons make the yard more comfortable for everyone.
