What Turf Is Best for Dogs?
5 min read · Blades Synthetic Turf, Charleston
Pet-friendly turf has to handle three things well: drainage, odor, and durability. Get those right and the rest mostly takes care of itself.
Drainage first
Perforated drainage backings let water and waste pass through quickly. In Charleston's humid summers, drainage is what separates a great pet area from a bad one.
Then odor control
Most odor management happens at the infill layer. Pair pet-friendly turf with a high-quality silica or composite infill that's designed to reduce odor over time, and rinse the area regularly.
Then durability
For high-traffic pet areas — boarding facilities, daycares, busy back yards — step up to a heavier face weight (we recommend 75 oz or more) and a tighter tuft bind.
