Creating a Dog-Friendly Lawn
If you’re a happy owner of a loyal and playful pet, you’d want what’s best for your favorite companion. Pets love outdoor activities and plenty of play time. If you’ve been planning to improve your lawn for a long time, then there is no better time than the present to start. Next season; be sure that you have a fabulous green lawn where you and your pets can frolic about. Not only will your new lawn improve the look of your home but your pets will also be sure to thank you. Here are some useful tips to keep in mind.
If you have an unruly dog that refuses to do his business in a spot where you want him to, then you must be very familiar with those yellow ugly grass spots caused by dog urine, especially that of a female dog. In your search for a solution to such problems, you’ve probably come across plenty of solutions that all promise to treat those problem spots. However, the best remedy for your problem may be as simple as installing a water source in your front lawn. Constantly watering your entire lawn, especially those burn spots, will stimulate the green grass to grow and proliferate.
Finding out the root of the problem may also save your green lawn once and for all. Those burns in your lawn are actually caused by the high nitrogen content in your dog’s urine. Talk to your veterinarian about modifying your dog’s diet to decrease the nitrogen in his system.
Most dog owners think that they can say goodbye to green grass once they’ve acquired a dog. However, all you may need to do is purchase a different type of grass seeds that will let you grow beautiful green grass that will not be destroyed by your canine companion. Among all the types of grass, Bermuda grass is considered to be one of the most durable that will be able to survive the heavy traffic of both feet and paws across your lawn.
If you’ve always wanted to plant pretty flowers in your lawn or grow edible fruits but have never gotten around to it because of your dog or cat, then fences are the right solution for you. Picket fences that are made of wood are particularly charming and can make your home look like a luxurious summer inn from an English countryside.
