Artificial Grass for Dogs in the San Francisco Bay Area

I received a call from a San Francisco Bay Area artificial lawn owner the other day. She had just watched our television show on the KRON Bay Area Bargains – The Green Edition: onelawn.

She lives in the San Jose area and has two dogs. Her dogs had trashed her sod lawn and as a result, they had been tracking dirt and mud into the house so she installed a fake lawn for her dogs as a solution to her problem. Unfortunately, the synthetic grass that she had installed for her dogs required infill (a combination of sand and black crumb rubber – a product made from old car tires). The infill was getting into her pet’s paws and was being tracked into the house. Furthermore, the infill made cleaning up after the dogs in the yard nearly impossible.

During the show she had learned that our product onelawn® required no infill and she wondered how that was possible. I explained that artificial grass for dogs did not necessarily need infill. Infill is only required if the blades do not have enough support to keep them standing up straight. The onelawn® artificial grass has more blades per square inch, it is extra thick and it has an added thatch layer below the blades, all of which combine to make it the perfect no-fill artificial lawn. And because it has no infill, cleaning up after the dogs is easy: you just scoop the mess up and then hose the area down. NO MUD and the synthetic grass drains at a rate of 4” an hour so it dries very quickly. No more muddy paws and wet feet!

Dogs Love Synthetic Grass

The majority of dog owners love their dogs but hate what their dogs do to their lawns.  These areas (sometimes referred to as dog runs…other times referred to as ‘what used to be my back lawn’) significantly benefit from the use of artificial grass. Muddy or barren patches caused by these energetic pets are restored permanently as animals cannot cause damage to quality turf surfaces.

Dog urine or excrement will not discolor artificial grass and the smell will not be retained within the grass. Simply hose off the area. There will be no muddy mess since synthetic grass drains ten times better than a sod lawn. The synthetic surface will also naturally clean itself when it rains. When dealing with dog dirt, simply treat the mess the same. Pick up the larger pieces and let the small sediments drain down through the crushed granite base as you wash it off.

Pet owners utilizing artificial grass have often commented that animals appear to treat the new artificial lawns just like the genuine article…they love it! This allays any concern that dogs might not take to the fake grass. The only issue for man’s best friend is their inability to bury bones! Artificial grass is truly a pet friendly solution.

If you live in the Bay Area and are interested in an artificial lawn for your pet, contact The Good Nature Company by calling 415-479-1234 or visit their website at www.onelawn.com. Onelawn is an infill free product. That means no messy rubber pellets and sand getting picked up by your dog’s paws and tracked into your house. Pet friendly and people friendly: onelawn!

Misconceptions about Artificial Lawns

Published on July 25, 2010 in Artificial Lawn and bay area artificial lawn. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

There are several common misconceptions out there about modern day artificial lawns and grass.  Back in the day, replacing your standard lawn with a synthetic one meant giving up quite a bit – comfort, looks, status and money.  Things have certainly changed.  Today’s breed of artificial lawn comes with everything a standard lawn provides and more.

I’d like to overturn a few of the common misconceptions about artificial lawns by getting the facts out there:

Misconception #1:  Artificial Lawns are Luxury Purchases - When artificial lawns first arrived they may have been costly to build and install. Today, it’s exactly the opposite.  Installing an artificial lawn actually saves you money within a relatively short time.  In less than four year an artificial lawn will pay itself back in the cost of watering, mowing, and caring for a sod lawn.

Misconception #2: Artificial Lawns are well, ARTIFICIAL: That is true, but that is a good thing!  They are green, eco-friendly and considerate of the environment. In fact, artificial lawns are a growing part of the green movement which is brewing in our country because we’ve realized how important it is to conserve our natural resources.  They are saving tons of water everyday and preventing the use of harmful pesticides.

Misconception #3: Artificial Lawns are Difficult to Install- It seems like it would be a difficult process to replace your sod lawn entirely with an artificial turf.  Many people stray away from the process to avoid the ‘headache’ of getting it setup.  However, today’s professional lawn installers can easily get you set up with minimal hassle involved. 

Misconception #4: Artificial Lawns are Unsafe – Old school artificial grass used to be associated with harmful chemicals like heavy metals and lead.  Today’s synthetic materials, like Polyolefin blades, are completely inert and built to be in close contact with your loved ones.  Not only is artificial grass safe, but it also can be safer than a traditional sod lawn with a thick layer of child safty foam under the blades, providing a plush surface for your kids to fall on during their playtime.

Misconception #5: Artificial Lawns Aren’t Pet Friendly- The new breed of artificial lawns are built for pets.  Not only is the surface a lush area for your dog to romp around in, but the cutting edge technology ensures an odor free and clean surface.  An artificial lawn will prevent common pet damage like dug-up holes and standard wear-and-tear, and also drains even better than a sod lawn.
