When you have dogs, the term “beautiful lawn” can be something of an oxymoron. We just had artificial turf installed in our backyard, all those yellow spots and craters have been replaced with a beautiful dark green lawn. The dogs really seem to love it, they roll around and play on it, it must feel nice below their feet. I was very hesitant to take such drastic measures, but really couldnt bear the thought of another year of yellow dead grass. So far, seems to be a great solution for multi dog households. It has holes for drainage, cleans up nicely. Supposed to be dig proof too, which is a nice bonus.
