Pet Turf and Dog Runs in Edmonton — Artificial Grass Built for Dogs

One lawn that survives your dog.

There is a worn line down the fence where he patrols. There is a bald patch where she lies in the sun. Every spring there is a bare strip by the back gate that you reseed, and every spring it is gone again by July.

Then there is the door. Wet dog, wet paws, and a towel that lives on the mat for eight months of the year because our yards are mud from the first thaw until the ground finally dries out.

That is the actual problem we get called about. Not the aesthetics of a lawn. The mud, the smell, and the fact that a dog and grass cannot occupy the same small backyard indefinitely.

It doesn’t smell.

A pet turf lawn does not smell if it drains and if it gets rinsed. Urine passes through the backing, through the infill that neutralises the ammonia, and out through the stone. There is nothing organic in the system for bacteria to work on, which is more than can be said for soil.

Solids get picked up the same way you do now, and the surface underneath rinses clean rather than staining. In a small yard with more than one dog we suggest a hose-down every week or two in the heat of summer. That's all the upkeep it needs.

We only use pet-grade turf over a fully drained base, so there's nothing for smell to hang on to.
