The dogs of Kent are truly fortunate - they have access to one of the most famous pet-friendly artificial grass suppliers in the country. In fact, Artificial Lawn Company’s dog-friendly turf is so good that it is chosen year after year as ground covering for the hallowed halls of Crufts.
While there is a lot of misinformation in the media claiming that artificial grass is not pet-friendly, let us reassure you that it could be the best thing you have ever done for both you and your pets.
Artificial grass installation for Kent residents north and south gives you the benefits of low maintenance, beautiful-looking grass while your dog can run amok in a garden that cannot be dug up, keeps paws clean and mud free, and provides an easy-to-clean surface after it has gone to the toilet.
The Cleanest of Toilets
Contrary to what you may have read, our artificial lawn does not discolour after a dog has gone to the toilet. While natural grass can go patchy and turn yellow or brown if used as a toilet by your pet. Our artificial grass is pet-friendly and free draining so any urine seeps straight through the grass into the subbase, the occasional cleaning of the lawn may be required particularly in the summer months. We find either a hose or enzymatic based cleanrers work best for this, but it all depends on the size of your lawn and the number of dogs you have. Poos can be picked up in exactly the same way.
In most cases, all you need to do is give the grass a regular wash-over with a hosepipe, and you are straight back to a clean and pristine garden.
No Dig Technology
As we have travelled throughout the county, laying artificial grass in Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Dover, and everywhere in between, one of the biggest benefits our clients have relayed to us has been our ‘no dig’ technology. Our artificial grass is manufactured to high standards, making it durable and resilient against even the most persistent of pooches.
While taking them out for long walks in the countryside, your dogs can dig to their hearts’ content; you want to avoid the same in your garden. Not only does it leave unsightly brown patches that get dusty in the summer and muddy in the winter, but it also means your pet is constantly coming in and out of your home with muddy paws. Artificial grass will make your garden pet-friendly and human-friendly and save you hundreds, if not more, in repairing the damage done by scrabbling paws.
The Ideal Choice for Many Private Homes
While we understand that many homeowners are rightly proud of their carefully cultivated gardens and may not want to replace their lawns with artificial lawns, we also work with clients who want to create a separate space for their pets. This allows them to protect the hours spent toiling to create a glorious garden while keeping the more exuberant elements of a dog’s behaviour in an area which is easier to maintain and not going to damage all your hard work.
Maintaining High Standards in Kennels and Dog Training Clubs
If you run dog training or agility classes or manage boarding kennels for dogs and cats, then you will benefit greatly from the clean and durable nature of our Pedigree Lawn.
This particular range of artificial grass has pet-friendly features such as durable curled piles that offers comfort under the paw while still retaining a premium appearance. If you need any further proof of how much it is loved by dogs, you can ask them yourselves at Crufts every year, where our Pedigree Lawn provides the ideal surface for both the agility courses and the final ‘dog walk’.
Boarding kennels across the region are also real fans of our pet-friendly artificial grass. When letting the dogs have the freedom to run around dedicated enclosures, they can rest assured that the animals have a clean and safe environment in which to play. Poos are easy to spot and pick up straight away. The surface remains fresh and attractive to look at, and all that is required is a quick hose-down after every session. This contributes to the overall look of the kennels as a business that takes care of its animals.
Dedicated Dog Parks in Public Parks
In urban conurbations, dedicated dog parks in public open spaces are becoming more and more popular. Having a fenced-off area in which dogs can be let off the lead and run around gives them their own space and stops them from fouling areas where children might be playing.
Similar to private boarding kennels, a dedicated dog-friendly artificial grass installation in Kent’s parks provides a low-cost, low-maintenance solution for exercising pets in an urbanised environment.
