A good fit if

For homes where the dog runs the yard

  • The dog run is dirt

    The side yard path is worn down to sand and mud.

  • Paws come in muddy

    Every trip outside means a towel at the back door.

  • Kids and pets share it

    The same yard has to work for both.

  • Patchy spots keep coming back

    Grass will not recover where the dog goes.

Done right underneath

Built to drain, not to hold

Odor on pet turf usually comes from water that cannot get away. A fully permeable backing over a compacted, draining base gives it somewhere to go.

“Jordan walked me through his process for pet-friendly turf, fixed everything quickly, and even solved a tricky spot in my yard by adding a rock trim at no extra charge.”

Lori S. Pet turf · Verified Thumbtack review, June 2025
Will it smell?

Pick up solid waste as usual and rinse the area regularly. The fully permeable backing lets liquid drain through rather than sit on the surface, and an enzyme cleaner on a schedule keeps it fresh. We start you off with a treatment at install.

Will my dog dig it up?

There is no soil at the surface to dig into, and the edges are fastened down. A determined digger can still work at an edge, so we pay extra attention to perimeters along fences and gates.

Is it safe for kids and pets?

Pet N’ Play is made for yards shared by children and pets. We are happy to send the manufacturer’s spec sheet for any product we recommend so you can review it before you decide.

How fast does it drain?

Turf USA lists the Pet N’ Play backing at about 85 inches per hour. Actual drainage also depends on the base and grading, which is why we build both before the turf goes down.
