We all love our dogs, but admit it— they can be terribly destructive. As a result, many pet owners give up their dream of a beautiful lawn early on. If these furry pups can easily destroy a couch or a leather boot, delicate grass doesn’t stand a chance! Well, not if you have real grass. Synthetic grass for pets in Tracy is another matter.
With synthetic turf, you can enjoy a lawn that looks fresh out of a magazine. Not only that, but it’s going to be much easier to train your canine companion, too.
Dogs Vs. Natural Grass
Dogs would spend all their time outside if you let them. But letting them loose on a natural lawn is the perfect recipe for trouble. Catch them doing some naughty things like:
- Digging up holes in your yard for fun
- Ripping up grass fibers and scattering clumps of soil around your yard
- Eating everything – and we mean everything — including leaves, rocks, weeds, insects, plants and flowers and of course, natural grass
- chasing off potentially-dangerous animals like snakes, squirrels, mice, moles, etc.
- burying their toys, treats and other “stolen” items throughout your yard
- peeing in the yard and burning the grass with their nitrogen-rich urine
- tracking mud all over your home
- wearing down paths while “patrolling” their area
Aside from destroying your lawn, all of these activities also foster bad behavior. Therefore, not only do you have an ugly backyard, but you also have an ill-behaved dog on your hands. So frustrating!
It’s not hopeless, though. In fact, you only have to change one thing to solve most of your problems.
Why Artificial Grass is Better for Dogs and Pet Owners
As long as you have natural grass, these problems will persist. But go synthetic and they virtually go away overnight:
-
No more digging.
Well, technically, your dog can and will still dig because it’s a natural behavior. But those hyper paws won’t be able to damage artificial grass in Tracy. No holes, no displaced soil and no bare patches because they won’t be able to rip up the fibers either.
-
No more eating what they shouldn’t.
To this day, experts don’t know why dogs love to chew or lick blades of grass. Some believe they do this to instinctively induce themselves to vomit when they’re sick. Others say it’s to add some fiber into their mainly-protein diets. Whatever the reason is, grass is very tempting to dogs.
Unfortunately, natural lawns typically contain pesticides, weedicides, herbicides and other incredibly poisonous substances. Your dogs can get really ill from ingesting these chemicals through eating grass.
On the other hand, synthetic grass in Tracy may be synthetic, but it’s completely non-toxic. You’ll never need to treat it with lawn chemicals either, which further reduces contact between those toxins and your dog.
-
Stop insects and pests from invading the lawn.
Your dog may find it fun to chase that mole or mouse they saw in the garden. However, they can get injured in the process.
Since artificial turf does not need soil, your lawn will not attract small animals and pests that burrow into the ground. Going synthetic also reduces the chances of infestations like ticks and fleas.
-
Your lawn will stay beautiful forever.
Tracy’s dog owners love how artificial grass is basically impervious to dog pee. No matter how much they use your yard as a bathroom, it will never develop bare or brown spots. No yellow and dead grass either.
In addition, the realistic green tones of artificial turf will never fade. Say hello to curb appeal and a beautiful backyard you can be proud of!
-
Artificial grass takes very little effort to maintain.
Finally, cross off all those lawn maintenance tasks off your lists. For instance, say goodbye to watering, mowing, fertilizing and all that seasonal upkeep!
It’s very simple to keep the best synthetic grass in perfect shape. To keep your synthetic lawn looking and smelling fresh, pick up dog poop ASAP. Rinse out pee spots regularly with soapy water. In case the turf gets matted, brush it up. That’s it. Now, you have so much more time to play fetch or just enjoy the sunshine with your furry best friend!
