Use Artificial Turf

A fake lawn is durable, low-maintenance, easy to clean, and can mimic the look and feel of natural grass. This makes it an excellent pet-friendly alternative. Your furry friends will love romping and rolling on the fluffy fibers. You can even spray your artificial lawn with a hose to give your pets a cool treat in the summer, and it dries remarkably quickly. Added bonus: you won’t need to worry about them digging it up. Plus, you’ll enjoy lower watering bills — it’s a win-win solution for you and your pets.

Incorporate Raised Gardens

Many pets enjoy digging, which can be frustrating when you’re trying to keep your outdoor greenery looking healthy. Creating raised gardens allows you to plant an array of beautiful blooms, delicious vegetables, or even cacti and succulents free from nosy pets. Raised gardens are a great alternative to in-ground planting when you need to keep both pets and plants safe from each other.

Choose Pet-Friendly Plants

Not all plants are safe for curious little nibblers. You’ll want to avoid toxic varieties such as oleander, azalea, lilies, daffodils, sago palms, hyacinths, and many others. Prickly varieties like cacti can also be hazardous on tiny paws. If you need help selecting safe options, your team at Green America Tree & Landscaping will be more than happy to advise you.

Create A Designated Play Area

Consider dedicating a portion of your space to establish a separate pet play area. This area can be enclosed by a fence or surrounded by a garden wall and include outdoor toys, agility equipment, and trees for shade. Adding an outdoor drinking fountain with a lower spigot and a concrete hollow on the ground will also help animal lovers keep their pets hydrated. An outdoor area for your pets can significantly add to your peace of mind.

Include Lots Of Shade

No Las Vegas or Henderson outdoor space should be without shade. Whether you plant some fast-growing trees, build a pleasing patio cover, or construct a charming gazebo, both you and your pets will appreciate the extra protection, especially in the blazing summer heat.
