Is it safe?

Yes! Artificial grass is perfectly safe for humans, pets, and all other living creatures. It’s totally non-toxic, too, so if you have curious dogs who ingest a blade of grass or two, you won’t have to worry at all. In fact, artificial grass is safer than natural grass because it requires zero use of pesticides and fertilizers. Do yourself and your pets a favor by eliminating harsh chemicals from your outside space by upgrading to artificial grass from Green Turf today. You’ll be able to let your dogs run and play outside to their hearts’ delight. Plus you won’t have to worry about your dogs bringing mud and dirt in the house anymore – win-win!

Would my dogs still be able to do their business outside?

Yes! If you have artificial grass and some dogs, they will still be able to go outside to do their business. To maintain your lawn, all you’ll have to do is run a sprinkler or hose anytime your dogs urinate to rinse it away. For solid waste, simply pick it up as you would at a park or while out on a walk, and then spot clean the area with a vinegar-based or enzyme cleaner. As long as you follow these easy maintenance tips, your lawn will continue to look, smell, and function impeccably for many years to come. TigerTurf from Green Turf has odor-resistant and stain-resistant capabilities that you and your furry friends will greatly benefit from.

Could the dogs damage the lawn by trying to dig holes?

No – artificial grass from Green Turf is incredibly durable and strong with a double reinforced backing. You’ll want to train your dogs not to try to dig holes in the lawn on a daily basis, but normal curiosity and exploration won’t lead to damage. Your artificial grass will look and function well so you’ll be able to enjoy it for many years to come.
