Dogs are hard on natural grass. Urine burns yellow spots, running wears paths along the fence, and Georgia rain turns it all into muddy paws. Pet turf solves those problems, but only if it's built differently from a standard lawn.
Drainage comes first. Pet turf sits on a permeable aggregate base so liquid passes straight through instead of sitting on top. The turf backing should be fully permeable too, not just perforated with a few holes.
Infill matters for odor. Antimicrobial and odor-control infills help neutralize smells between rinses, which matters most in Georgia summers.
Edges and seams need to be tight. Diggers will find any loose edge, so we secure the perimeter and make sure seams are fully bonded.
Day to day, pick up solids and rinse the area with a hose every so often. That's it: no mowing, no reseeding, and no mud tracked through the house.
