3 Challenges Pet Turf Solves

But, when it comes to grass lawns, pet turf from Echoing Green is more than just a viable alternative. It’s a comfortable, safe, and long-lasting solution loved by pets and pet parents alike.
Artificial grass in Toronto is a popular choice for backyards and front lawns of pet owners in the city because many people struggle to keep their pets healthy with natural grass and their lawns beautiful. There are many ways in which pet owners and pets themselves can benefit from artificial pet turf.
Muddy Grass
Whether there has been significant rainfall or your dog just can’t stop digging, muddy paws and the upheaval of your grass can be frustrating and difficult to correct. But when it comes to natural grass, some dogs just can’t help themselves. This unbreakable tendency impedes the cohesiveness of a well-manicured lawn and often ends up with mud being dragged inside, creating more and more work.

Our team of expert artificial grass installation experts use high-quality, specialized tools to securely fasten turf, so even if your pet tries to dig into your lawn, the turf will remain firmly in place.
Lawn Burn
Especially when exposed to sunlight, nitrogen and salts on natural lawns can cause the grass to yellow and die. These nitrogen and salts are typically packed into the urine of dogs, depending on their diet. When your dog is let out, and they choose the same spot every time they feel the call of nature, grass burns out due to an effect similar to over-fertilization. These spots are an aesthetic problem. More often than not, these spots are difficult to grow back and become vulnerable to weeds.
When dog owners opt for a partial or complete rehaul of their backyards with artificial grass in Toronto, these effects of lawn burn are eliminated since pet turf is designed specifically for dogs to use for play and as their personal restroom. At Echoing Green, our easy to clean and highly drainable artificial grass for dogs can be rinsed and disinfected to keep harsh chemicals out of the way.

Pest Infested
Pollen, fleas, ticks, and other pesky inhabitants of natural grass and gardens often lurk in the grass, waiting to give your pets a hard time. Foreign bodies can infiltrate anywhere from their coats to their ears, ranging from a general annoyance to an actual health emergency. Typical lawn insects nest in tall unmowed lawns with significant moisture and organic matter like weeds, mold, bacteria, and grass itself.
