Artificial grass pet parks are becoming all the rage these days.
And for good reasons!
Community – Maintenance – Marketing – Success!
We all probably have a friend or two who met their significant other either because a dog was involved. Whether one was walking a dog or playing with one or they met at yes, a dog park. Pets enhance our love of life but they also help us with community building. Meeting people and pets in one place in your complex will help build community and friendship amongst all residents.
As for Maintenance, when you have too many dogs continually running back and forth on natural grass, unless you are prepared to continually replace it, it will inevitably turn into a dirty mess in a short amount of time. With artificial grass, the dirt pit becomes a thing of the past.
Innovations in artificial pet turf, often referred to colloquially as “K-9” grass, is unbelievably resilient. Combine that with our SealTuft flow-through backing, and you have an amenity that residents will absolutely love.
Marketing – Simply put: Artificial grass pet parks help apartment complex community managers fill their properties. For those non-dog lovers, keeping pets confined to a park is safe, cleaner and preferred. For the dog lovers, having a save secure place to burn your pets energy is healthy for the pet, the homeowner and the interior of buildings. Everyone looking to move into the area will love the dog park amenity.
As for the Design and Installation – there are additional considerations we have come to learn over the years—-
First, we are strong advocates in keeping the existing sprinklers within the synthetic turf area; this way, unwanted lingering pet odors can be easily flushed away through the course of your normal irrigation schedule.
We also include a good amount of Zeolite granules to absorb and curb ammonia smells that come from pet urine. Similar to a pre-emergent weed killer, we prefer to get ahead of these things at the time of the initial installation. This is why it is essential to hire a company dedicated to artificial grass installation.
If you need help in designing your synthetic turf pet park, give us a call. We would love to help.
