So the snow is starting to clear and I am looking at a mud bath my 2 German Sheppard’s have created. I couldn’t even tell what was mud and what was their waste. I remembered last spring watching the DIY network and a couple installed their own artificial turf lawn system. Since my yard was only 20×30 feet, I figured I would give a go round at putting down the synthetic turf. I found out from ArtificialTurfSupply.com which turf and which base was best to use under the synthetic grass. I basically built a paver base with road base and then rock screenings. This made a huge difference already as all the mud was covered by 4 inches of tamped material. The icing on the cake was when I laid down the PET PRO PLUS 90S artificial grass; simply an amazing product. The dogs love the turf and to my surprise can’t damage the turf with their digging habits. Since I have had the synthetic turf, they tried to dig for a week or two and now they just enjoy it. The two of them will play out there like bandits and sometimes sunbathe on the artificial grass. I can’t be happier now that the mud and other objects from the yard don’t end up on my couch or in the house.
