Artificial Grass for Dogs Sheffield

Artificial Grass Sheffield has extensive experience in installing artificial grass lawns in residential properties. The primary reason for homeowners to opt for a synthetic turf is the inconvenience that comes with maintaining a real lawn. This trend is observed throughout South Yorkshire, as the demand for artificial grass for dogs in Sheffield continues to rise.

During summers, dog pee can cause extensive damage to natural grass, resulting in dead yellow patches across the lawn. Although solutions like magic stone exist, they have limited success. In addition to the aesthetic damage, dogs can also dig up the lawn, leaving it unsightly. Moreover, the muddy paws of dogs entering the house after being outside can cause immense frustration for their owners.

Artificial Grass for Pets in Sheffield

Dog owners often struggle with catching their pets and wiping down their paws after they have been on a muddy lawn. Artificial grass is a popular solution for pet owners in Sheffield, especially those with dogs. However, the decision to install artificial grass is often more about the benefits to the owners rather than the pets themselves. 

To fully benefit as a pet owner, it is important to select a grass that is practical for both you and your pet. The installation process is also crucial in ensuring an optimal experience. Some artificial grass owners have reported a smell of dog pee on their fake lawn, which should never be the case if the installation was done correctly. 

Artificial grass has drainage holes that allow rainwater and pet urine to pass through and into the ground, just as it does with real grass. In fact, drainage should be even better with artificial grass. If a smell of dog pee is present, it is likely due to poor drainage. There are typically only a few reasons why this may occur and poor installation i the main one.

Best Artificial Grass for Dogs in Sheffield

The best artificial grass for dogs and their owners is one that includes a proper weed membrane. This membrane should allow urine and rainwater to pass through, but prevent weeds from growing. Waterproof membranes used for buildings may seem like a better option, but they do not allow water to pass through, leading to the accumulation of urine and rainwater. This issue may be less noticeable on a sloped lawn, but it can still lead to the gathering of water. Additionally, drainage holes may become blocked if the final layer of sand is added on top of the grass. At Artificial Grass Sheffield, we use proper weed membranes and work with our manufacturer to include extra acid neutralizers in the membrane to prevent odors. None of the artificial grass we install require sand to be added on top. We take no shortcuts to ensure that our customers have the best artificial grass for their dogs.

Pet Friendly Artificial Turf in Sheffield

As a pet owner, it is natural to have concerns about the pet friendliness of artificial turf. Particularly for animals such as rabbits or guinea pigs who are known to consume grass. However, in our experience, even if a pet decides to ingest some, it will pass through their system without issue. 

Another factor to consider is the temperature of the synthetic lawn during hot weather. Unlike real grass, artificial grass does not contain water and can become hotter to the touch. This may not be an issue for mature dogs, but smaller animals and young children may find it uncomfortable. However, our synthetic grasses are UV treated, making them more resistant to fading and reducing the amount of heat they absorb.
