Synthetic Turf – A Blessing for Pet Owners

Posted by Matt Garrabrants on Sep 26, 2012

Pets and grass are a formula for disaster. Both of these interact with one another in a way that affects them, you and your budget. However, thanks to the miracle of synthetic turf, you can now easily let your pet be itself without worrying about the perfection of your lawn.

If you haven’t installed synthetic turf yet, read the following reasons to understand why you should.

Reason #1) Guaranteeing Your Pet’s Health
Natural grass is most attractive to pets; not only can they roll in it, but they can sniff around it to search for interesting things. However, natural grass is where insects live and infect your pet. In addition, chemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, can be harmful to animals’ respiratory and digestive systems. On the other hand, artificial turf won’t offer insects with the perfect living habitat and won’t require chemicals to remain perfect. As a result, your pet will have a longer, healthier life.

Reason # 2) Ensuring the Hygiene of Your Lawn
Pests and chemicals aside, grass can be dangerous to your pet because of its low hygiene. Just think about the number of people who tread on it with dirty germ-infested shoes. Even if no one is allowed to walk on your turf, you can never be too sure that your dog hasn’t experienced nature calling there. However, field turf is a good way to ensure that your lawn is hygienic regardless of people or your pet. Not only are the blades of artificial grass designed to be microbe-resistant, they are also spaced to allow liquids and certain solids to seep through to the dirt underneath.

Reason #3) Protecting Your Investment
Landscaping is a hefty investment. Not only does it require that you spend a considerable amount of money, but it will need a good portion of your time as well. Pet owners end up wasting both of these resources because their pets are too fond of grassy areas. Your pet may decide to dig your lawn, do its business there or simply run in circles in the same area. As a result, your lawn will start showing signs of wear and even display patches of withered grass. However, by putting green turf on your lawn, you can rest assured that you will have the perfect landscape regardless of what your pet does. After all, artificial lawn grass is designed to be durable and capable of allowing fluids to seep through.

Reason #4) Easier Maintenance
If your pet is adamant on ruining your lawn, synthetic grass can be quite helpful because it is easy to clean. You can wash urine by hosing down your fake lawn or, if there are visible stains, use a mild detergent to make your turf shine green under the sun. Both of these steps won’t take more than 10 minutes of your time and you can later enjoy the company of your loved ones and pets.

Reason #5) The Availability of Your Yard 25/7
Most pet owners shy from inviting family and friends over because their lawns are unkempt thanks to their pets. However, you won’t have to worry about that with fake grass because of its easy maintenance and durability. So, you can always have people over any time you want.

So, do yourself and your pet a favor and have artificial lawn grass installed on your lawn.
