You recommended Zeolite Max under pet turf roll to neutralize urine odor - will this product also provide a barrier, so the travertine patio floor doesn't get a stain from the urine that permeates through?
Zeolite under our Pet Turf Rolls would not prevent urine from staining travertine if the urine were to pass through that layer. To prevent issues with staining, we would recommend placing a plastic sheet under the Zeolite to keep the urine from reaching the travertine below.
Was this helpful?I have used other products in the past and after a few weeks they stick of urine smell. If I lay this product down over grass/dirt area will it smell of urine?
Our Pet Turf Rolls like other turf products would smell like urine over time. To mitigate this, we have a few recommendations. The first would be to use our Zeolite Max under and in your turf. This will help to suck up any urine and neutralize the smells. The next thing we would recommend is using our Turf Fresh spray as needed. This will just reinforce what the Zeolite Max is doing already.
Was this helpful?If I install this inside over wood/vinyl flooring and they pee on it, how do I clean it? Or what should I be putting underneath, so it doesn't seep into the wood every time?
If you were to install our Pet Turf Rolls indoors over existing flooring, we would recommend placing a plastic sheet under the turf or a puppy pad under the turf to keep pee and other liquids from going to the surface below. You would then just pull up the turf and change out the pad to keep the area sanitary. We would also recommend using our Turf Fresh spray to keep your turf smelling great.
Was this helpful?Can bugs and ticks get into this type of grass?
Since our Pet Turf Rolls are typically used outdoors, bugs and ticks can be present in the turf, but they will not stay for long as it is not natural and has no nutritional benefits to it. The one comment most people make when they add turf to their yard is the lack of bugs, especially mosquitos. Since there isn't anything that will attract bugs and other pests to the turf, they tend to stay away.
Was this helpful?Can I use the pet-friendly turf on a solid OSB deck around an above ground pool and if so should I have some sort of drainage?
You can use our Pet Turf Rolls on a solid OSB deck around a pool. The turf itself will drain, but the OSB underneath will keep the water between the turf and the OSB until it evaporates. If this is an issue, then we would suggest adding some sort of draining to the OSB.
Was this helpful?Have you had any incidences of dogs trying to eat pieces of the turf, especially if there are treats sprinkled into the turf for fun? What is the material and if a dog ingested a little bit of it would it make them sick?
We have not had any instances where a dog or pet has tried to eat the turf. Our Pet Turf is make constructed with Polyethylene. This plastic is pretty common in many items that we use in our homes and is safe if ingested by a dog or pet. It should not make them sick.
Was this helpful?We have a puppy in the digging stage, will the turf hold up to digging?
Our Pet Turf Rolls are very durable and would be able to hold up to the digging that any dog or puppy would do.
Was this helpful?What is the lifespan of the pet turf? I have southern exposure in Florida.
Our Pet Turf Rolls, when maintained properly, can last as long as you own your home. The warranty that we have on these rolls is 15 years.
Was this helpful?I would like to use it on the bottom of my many trees as a weed guard so Not to let the weeds grow But to let the water go thru and into the roots of the tree, will this work?
You can use our Pet Turf Rolls as a weed guard under trees in your yard. We would recommend also placing a weed barrier under the turf to further prevent weeds from growing.
Was this helpful?Can pet turf be put down on a wood deck? If so, would like to avoid nails/glue but leave it so that I can pick it up to clean the under deck routinely (the area is small).
You can install our Pet Turf Rolls on a wood deck. You don't have to glue or nail the turf down; you can free float it. If you do want some security with your turf, you can hold it down with some double-sided tape.
Was this helpful?Can a fire pit be used on top of the Pet Turf?
We would not recommend using a fire pit over our Pet Turf Rolls. We don't recommend using a fire pit over our Pet Turf because hot embers can fall out of the fire and melt the turf.
Was this helpful?Can it go on an incline? What would be recommended to go under the turf in an outdoor dog pen that was grass?
You can install our Pet Turf Rolls on an incline. You would just follow the installation instructions that we have on the product page under the installation tab. You wouldn't need to put anything under our Pet Turf in a dog pen, but you can add our Zeolite Max to help mitigate odors and pet urine. This product you can place under your turf and in the turf as an infill. If you wanted to use our Durafill infill, you could always use Pet Fresh to help mitigate any smells. You would just spray it as needed per the instructions on the bottle.
Was this helpful?Can you putt on pet turf as well?
Since our Pet Turf Rolls are a longer blade, putting on them would not be the best, but you can putt on our Pet Turf Rolls. If you are looking for a putting green surface, please check out our large selection of putting green rolls and mats on our putting green page.
Was this helpful?We are purchasing a home with what is referred to as Arizona landscaping aka rock. The rock is approximately 1" pieces. Would it be feasible to install over the layer of rock for added drainage? Or would it destroy the backing?
When installing our Pet Turf, we recommend installing it on a flat, hard surface. Typically you would install this over compacted crushed granite. This will help with drainage and also keep from destroying your turf when installed. So for this particular install, we would recommend removing the larger rocks before installing our Pet Turf Rolls or any other artificial grass rolls.
Was this helpful?Does the turf have to be installed onto dirt? Could you just lay it over pavers, or would a dog relieving himself on that sort of installation cause a problem?
You can install our Pet Turf over any hard, flat surface. Our turf has been installed over concrete and asphalt pads with great success. If a dog were to urinate on the turf, it would seep through the turf to the concrete below. We recommend not gluing the turf down so that you could periodically clean the subsurface from time to time. This will help to help to reduce any unsightly odors. If you do glue it, we do offer a range of products that help with reducing odors. Our Turf Fresh and Zeolite Max products are great for this and are safe for pets and very easy to use.
Was this helpful?Could the padding that is used for the PlaySafe turf be used under the pet turf? I'm not sure which turf would be best as both children and pets would be in the area and it needs to have high drainage capabilities. Is your outdoor turf also lead-free/UV/frost resistant?
You can use any of our pads under our Pet Turf Rolls and any of our Turf products. Depending on what you will be doing on the turf will determine which type of pad will be best for your application. All of our outdoor turf products are UV stable, lead-free, and freeze/thaw stable. So they will not get brittle in the dead of winter.
Was this helpful?Bit of an odd question here but hopefully you can answer. I have retired racing greyhounds who still love to run. They have established a sort of race track in the backyard where they run. Imagine a greyhound (or horse) racetrack and you know what it looks like. In the corners I have no grass due to their turning. Will your Turf Roll withstand them running on it? It would have side-wise pressures as they round the corner. Thanks for your assistance!
Our Pet Turf Rolls can be used as a dog run. These rolls are very durable and will also keep your pet's paws safe.
Was this helpful?Do you sell squares 20"x20" to fit a plastic tray? What is the smallest amount of turf can you buy? Does it have a rubber backing?
The smallest size we can sell our Pet Turf is 7.5' x 1'. Our turf is not rubber backed but has a K29 Dual Layered Non-Expansive Backing.
Was this helpful?Can it be stapled to plywood? It's for a turtle enclosure.
We recommend using adhesive, but you could staple our Pet Turf Rolls to plywood.
Was this helpful?our 4 dogs love to run along the fence line with neighbor dogs and of course there is no grass; only mud or dust depending on the weather. Would this product work along the fence? It would only need to be about 18" wide.
This product would be suitable for your application. These rolls can be cut as short as 1 linear foot, so you could actually turn the width of the roll into the length that you need for this fence line.
