Cutting Edge Artificial Grass

Scotland's Specialists in Low Odour Artificial Grass for Dog Areas

PET FRIENDLY is a very misleading marketing term, which really just means that the grass will not harm your pet because it is free from harmful elements such as lead, cadmium and zinc. Pet Specific is what you really want!

The sub-base for dog areas should also be totally different . On some installations, it may be best to avoid using Type 1 and whin dust, because the fine dust in these slows down the drainage, thus more risk of urine smells.  Sand in particular should be avoided at all costs, as it holds uric acid crystals, which causes the odours.  Installations with sand are also a big No No, because sand is a great medium for weeds, mould and mildew to grow, it cannot be fully compacted, it washes away, it sinks and it encourages ant activity and nesting.

The proper sub-base should be as deep as possible and very fast draining. There are also specialist products on the market that are designed to keep the dog urine odours under control.

The use of modern additives can significantly reduce dog urine smells especially if applied below the grass and also power brushed into the top of the grass at the time if installation. There is also a chemical that can also be applied above and below the grass before the astroturf is fixed down.

To keep the odours to a minimum it's best to hose down your grass as often as possible especially during warm dry periods. Adding a timed water sprinkler system can be a good investment. 

Regular brushing and application of a decent enzyme/bacteria cleaner is also recommended for those with dogs.
