Tired of your dog bringing dirt into your house, but don’t want to sacrifice their running space? Build a petscape using quality artificial grass for pets! Synthetic turf is the perfect alternative to natural grass — it’s dirt-free, easy to maintain, and comes with a reliable drainage system!
Looking to save on cost by doing the installation yourself? Using the right tools may mean the difference between artificial grass that constantly needs upkeep and turf that lasts all year-long.
Make sure your turf is installed to last for decades with the right equipment. Here are seven tools you’ll need to successfully install artificial grass for your pets and ensure a perfect finish:
One of the most essential tools, a turf cutter is a self-propelled machine used to cut layers of soil and grass to reveal the ground underneath. Get this from your local tool hire shops for a small cost, and say goodbye to painstaking digging.
Easily reach all spots of the lawn with a reliable pick. Use it to remove big rocks and tree stumps and scrape away the turf as easily and quickly as possible.
Preparing the ground is the most significant aspect of any grass project. With a wheelbarrow, you no longer have to spend a big chunk of your precious time carrying rolls of turf in and out of your garden. A wheelbarrow will help you take out excavations from the garden and easily put aggregates in the sub-base.
This tool allows you to clear the space from stones and branches and distribute your base material across the lawn space before laying out your synthetic grass for dogs. A shovel can also be used to fill up the wheelbarrow with aggregates for the sub-base.
A hammer is needed to place nails or pins around your lawn’s border. For your convenience, use a hammer that has a long handle to drive in longer turf nails easily.
A tape measure ensures accurate measurement of your turf layout. Remember to review your measurements from time to time to ensure that you have sufficient grass for covering the whole area. To make sure that all bases are covered with synthetic turf, it is recommended that you add 12 to 24 inches to the measurements.
Keep sharp scissors close-by when working on your artificial lawn. This comes in handy when you need to trim grass blades from time to time or trim raised fibers along the length of the join.
Having a complete set of turf installation tools will ensure that you have your artificial grass petscape finished on time.

Synthetic grass can help put money in your pocket in several ways. One of those ways is increasing the marketability, and possibly the value, of your property.
There aren’t any sound statistics on how much synthetic grass can increase property values. Most real estate executives state it doesn’t dramatically increase the sale price, like renovating a bathroom or kitchen does. However, it does help your property’s resale in several ways.
The primary advantage of synthetic grass in reselling a home is the beauty it adds to the property. Real estate professionals state synthetic turf makes your property more marketable because it improves curb appeal. Curb appeal is the number one factor in getting potential buyers to look at your property.
This is especially important in certain areas of the country where it is difficult to grow grass, such as the southwest or parts of the west coast that are, technically, desert areas. Having a plush lawn in an area that is typically barren instantly improves the desirability of your property and that can translate into dollars when you sell it.

Your lawn should always be accessible, but this is not always true with a natural lawn. If you have kids, pets, or want to entertain family and friends, you deserve a yard that always looks healthy, clean, comfortable and ready to be enjoyed at any moment. But this is not always true with a natural lawn.
We know you don’t like telling your kids they can’t play outside because it rained. And we know you hate canceling your plans to host your friends for a Sunday Funday!
