Pet-Friendly Turf
Dogs and Perth lawns do not mix well — brown patches, digging, and muddy paws are constant issues. Artificial grass designed for pets solves these problems and keeps your garden looking pristine year-round.
Key Features to Look For
Drainage backing (minimum 30L/m2/hour). Short pile height (25-30mm) for easy cleaning. Anti-bacterial infill (zeolite). UV stabilisation. Non-toxic materials. Perth’s sandy subbase provides excellent natural drainage underneath.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Pick up solids daily. Hose down weekly (or more for multiple dogs). Apply pet-specific deodoriser monthly. Replace infill annually in heavy-use areas. The water savings from no lawn irrigation far outweigh the occasional hosing.
Getting Started
Pet-grade artificial grass costs $80-$120/m2 installed (slightly more than standard due to enhanced drainage). Get quotes from Perth turf installers experienced with pet installations. See our cost guide and general maintenance tips.
