2. DAILY CARE ROUTINE
Engage in mild, regular brushing to remove pet hair and debris to keep the turf looking vibrant. Use pet-safe cleaners for spot-cleaning any messes quickly. Conduct quick inspections to catch potential wear before it becomes an issue.
3. PREVENTING ODORS AND BACTERIA
Regularly rinse the turf with water to reduce odors and maintain freshness. Employ pet-safe enzymatic cleaners to handle offending odors effectively.

5. PAW-FRIENDLY LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS
Incorporate pet-friendly features into your landscape design, such as designated recreation spots. Pick plants and decorations that are safe for pets, creating a pleasant environment. Establish a cozy space for your furry friends to unwind and have fun, improving their overall experience.
6. SEASONAL MAINTENANCE TIPS
Adjust your care routine depending on different weather conditions throughout the seasons. Prepare for intense rain or wintry conditions by ensuring proper drainage to prevent matting. Protect the turf during extreme temperatures, taking measures to maintain its longevity. Look at our cold weather guide for more tips and tricks. Yearly professional maintenance is also recommended.
7. ENSURING SAFETY FOR PETS
Regularly check for jagged items or debris that could injure your pets during playtime. Confirm the absence of toxic substances in fertilizers or pesticides used in the area. High-quality turf virtually guarantees a safe environment for your pets to play, but it is still wise to make sure nothing harmful has landed in your yard.
