What's included
What we build for dogs
We start by asking how many dogs use the yard and where they go. That decides the drainage, the turf and the infill.
- Full backyards for families with dogs
- Dedicated dog runs and side-yard potty areas
- AirCrate drainage under heavy-use areas with multiple dogs
- Turf around patios and pools where dogs play
- Ongoing turf cleaning plans for busy dog yards

Decorative mow strips
Choose your favorite mow strip color
A poured concrete mow strip gives turf, planters and rock a clean, lasting edge. It is extruded in one continuous piece, so it follows straight lines and flowing curves alike. Pick a profile and a color, and we will go over it at your free estimate.
Hi/low curb
A raised back with a low front lip, 6 inches wide by 4 inches tall. The low front edge keeps a crisp, finished line along lawns and beds.
Flat curb
A flat, square-shouldered profile, 6 inches wide by 4 inches tall. A simple, modern line that turf tucks right up against.

Colors on a screen are close, not exact. Final color can vary slightly with the concrete mix and cure. Prefer plain gray concrete? That works too.

Good to know
Common questions
Is artificial turf good for dogs?
Yes, when it's built for them. A base that drains, pet-specific backing and odor-control infill make the potty area easy to rinse.
What is AirCrate and do I need it?
AirCrate is a drainage tile we install under the turf for areas with heavy dog use and multiple dogs. For one dog on a large yard, a properly graded base is usually enough. We'll tell you which fits at your estimate.
How do I keep it fresh?
Pick up solids and rinse the potty area regularly. For busy dog yards we also offer turf cleaning.
How long does a pet turf install take?
It depends! Typically under a working week, based on the size and scope of your project.
