I'm considering getting artificial turf for around my house instead of real grass.
They seem to have special ones designed for dog use & such...?
Do any of you use them?
& If so what are your thoughts?
I like the fact that it :
Keeps the water bill lower.
Don't need to mow the lawn or use pesticides or fertilizers.
Stays green year-round & pet dropping don't discolor it.
Pets come back in the house with cleaner paws than real grass & the dog will stay cleaner overall.
The only thing negative thing I've heard so far about it is that in direct sunlight on hot days above 90 degrees it radiates a lot of heat.
& I would not want myself or the dog getting burnt.
Yet I figure I would make sure to have enough shade ( Trees & shrubs ) for the most part that it should not be too big of an issue.
