  • No pesticides

    Residential synthetic turf yards require little to no maintenance, including no watering, aeration, or fertilizing required in order to maintain a green lawn. This thought extends to the realm of pesticides. 

    With no natural plant life to maintain, homeowners no longer need to worry about harmful pests that might damage their lawns. In a roundabout way, going synthetic with your yard frees you up for more natural options in other areas. 

    Cutting down on the use of pesticides is not only better for the environment at large, but is also healthier for your pets specifically. Pesticides can pose dangerous side effects if ingested, and the lack thereof means you have one less thing to worry about when you let your pet roam your yard. 

  • No Standing Water

    Aside from being an eyesore, standing water in your lawn poses significant health risks for pets. Standing water has a high probability of containing parasites that are harmful to dogs, cats, and other pets when consumed. 

    Side effects can range from a simple vet visit to life-threatening situations for your pet, so the dangers of standing water are no joke. Leptospirosis is a common disease contracted by dogs when they drink standing water that has been a focus of veterinarians as of late due to its life-threatening nature.

    While there are options to help mitigate standing water issues on real grass lawns, such as french drains or other drainage systems, none of those options are as cost-effective as synthetic turf. 

    With a professional synthetic turf installation, every inch of your yard will boast top-notch water drainage. Every one of our turf options has high permeability and drainage holes throughout, meaning whenever rain falls, the water is sure to flow away from your yard and keep your pets safe.   

  • The Hidden Benefits of ArtificialTurf for Pets

    Every well-intentioned pet owner desires a beautiful yard where they can let their pets roam free to their heart’s content. However, many pet owners these days are weighing the pros and cons of artificial pet turf over real grass when creating their pet’s backyard oasis.

    It’s probably no secret we’re biased in this regard, but we feel the low maintenance, year-round greenery that fake grass for dogs and cats provides gives it the leg up in this debate right off the bat. 


    However, there are even more hidden benefits to choosing artificial pet turf over real grass on your lawns. Whenever a customer is considering the pros and cons of artificial pet turf, we’re sure to bring up the following benefits

  • Repairing High Traffic Areas

    The most common maintenance and repair issue associated with artificial turf involves the high traffic wear and tear it might receive. Just like carpet, areas of your turf may become damaged or matted as more and more foot traffic walks overtop.

    Luckily, this issue is easy enough to avoid with a little elbow grease. Once again, take an artificial turf brush or even a rake over the matter sections of your turf to comb the area upright once more. Pay special attention to the infill and make sure the levels are even across the entire area before calling it a day, though!

    “How Long Does Artificial Turf Last”? The Verdict:

    In short, the question of “how long does artificial turf last?” depends on a variety of factors, such as the level of care and attention by the owner, the amount of use or foot traffic it receives, and even the climate in which it lives. 

    All in all, though, synthetic turf is made to be durable! When you contact us for a synthetic turf installation, you can feel rest assured that your final product will be around for decades to come. 

    In general, we say that synthetic turf yards last upwards of 20 years before repair or replacement might become necessary.

  • How to Prolong Your Synthetic Turf’s Lifespan

    Perhaps the biggest selling point to artificial turf is the lack of lawn care maintenance it requires. After installing an artificial grass yard, you no longer need to worry about routine maintenance like mowing the yard, aerating your soil, fertilization schedules, or watering your yard with a sprinkler. 

    Instead, you’re blessed with a lush green yard that remains that way all year long. 

    However, there are still some artificial turf maintenance items to check off your to-do list to prolong the lifespan of your turf. In general, most of these tasks fall under the general category of care and maintenance. 

    Chores like cleaning off debris or fallen leaves depending on the season can help keep your synthetic turf clean and unmatted, while periodically brushing or raking your yard (especially in high traffic areas), can prevent your turf blades and infill from becoming matted. 

    Artificial turf customers may also need to wash sections of their turf in the event of a stain. Avoid using hard chemicals like bleach, however. A simple water and soap mixture will do the trick. 

    Depending on your climate, you may also need to monitor the temperature outside, as some areas of the world become extremely hot in the summer months, which can damage your turf. Periodically cooling your turf down with water helps alleviate this issue. 

  • How Long Does Artificial Turf Last?

    Synthetic grass has many benefits compared to real grass lawns, but turf owners often wonder, “how long does artificial turf last?”. After all, if they’re going to make the investment on an artificial turf lawn, we don’t blame them for making sure their new synthetic turf installation lasts them years to come. 

    Unfortunately, there’s no one answer to that particular question. 

    Why? Well, because the lifespan of your artificial turf may depend on a variety of factors outside of the manufacturer’s and synthetic turf installation company’s control. 

    More often than not, the longevity of your artificial turf depends on how well you maintain your artificial turf yard. If properly cared for, we generally find that artificial turf can last upwards of 20 years with no problems. 

    In this blog, we’ve compiled our best tips on how to prolong the lifespan of your investment in an artificial turf lawn. 

  • Easy Mess Clean Up

    Every synthetic turf surface boasts fast-drying properties and artificial grass potty pads are no exception. 

    A major focus of synthetic pet turf is water drainage, which translates well when that turf is used as a potty pad. Complete with the plastic tray undercarriage, your potty pad will make cleaning up a simple endeavor. 

    Simply wash the synthetic turf piece separately with soap and water, or even a hose, and leave it out to quickly dry, and it will be back in the game in no time. Many of our customers purchase multiple pads so they can rotate them in and out whenever needed. 

    Long Shelf Life

    The long shelf-life of artificial turf means that your fake grass dog pad will last as long as you need it to. In general, synthetic turf can last upwards of 20 years with proper care and maintenance. 

    What’s more? Using a synthetic pet turf potty pad will also help cut down on the waste your house puts out over the long run, because you’re no longer forced to use plastic doggy bags every day. 

  • All About Fake Grass Dog Potty Pads

    What is a fake grass dog pad? Simply put, a fake grass dog potty pad is a small section of synthetic pet turf specifically intended for your dog to relieve themselves. Pet potty pads have grown in popularity in recent years, as more and more homeowners come to appreciate the benefits they have to offer.

    The biggest benefit?  Because of the artificial nature of the synthetic grass, pet owners don’t have to worry about sections of their house being ruined (or their real grass yards ending up dead). 

    A Potty Training Go-To

    Fake grass doggy pee pads make initial potty training a breeze because they help prevent accidents altogether, as the dog learns to associate the act of pottying with the look and feel of grass. Just be sure to adequately reward your dog for their behavior when they potty in the right place and they’ll catch on in no time. 

    This turf product also helps establish a consistent spot and routine with your new pup, which is essential for home training. Pavlov proved it first: dogs learn best through repetition and routine. 

    A fake grass potty pad makes it easier for both you and your pup to form that habit. Especially considering that, with a safe, clean potty option now available indoors, owners no longer must scramble for their shoes, harness, and leash before allowing their dog to let loose. 

    Not only that, but the realistic grass texture also helps with the transition to outdoor pottying when your pup is ready if that’s the direction the pet owner chooses to move towards.
