Many people throughout the UK are converting to artificial grass for an easier life, but how much does it cost to have an all year round, pet friendly artificial lawn? The cost of pet friendly artificial grass basically comes down to the type of grass you choose and the installation process. Having the lawn professionally installed by a reputable company will cost considerably more than installing it yourself or by a local landscaper. However, with this service such as our own you will receive a long-lasting artificial lawn, installed to a high spec and comes with a warranty and guarantee.

Choosing a professional installation company like K9 Turf Artificial Grass Yorkshire, will cost you around £45 – £85 per sqm for a full installation. This includes a specialist pet friendly subbase and your choice of K9 Turf, the artificial grass designed for dogs. It is important to check the grass type and that it is 100% pet friendly. Many latex backed artificial grass is advertised as pet friendly but is not suitable for pets. K9 Turf has a ProFlow Poly Urethane backing that prevents the build up of ammonia and harmful bacteria, preventing nasty odours and keeps the lawn safe. You will be paying more for this quality of grass, but you will be saving money down the line due to not having to replace your artificial grass, which with most other non pet friendly grasses you will be forced to do.

For an average size garden of 40sqm you will be paying around the £3,000 mark for a full installation of K9 Turf. Each installation is priced based on a variety of aspects such as site conditions, access, location and of course size. Although this may seem like a large amount of money, it is a smart investment if you are looking to get artificial grass. You will be saving money on the tedious maintenance of your lawn for up to 25 years. K9 Turf requires an annual maintenance service which costs between £85-£250 per year. This cost pays for a professional maintenance team to undertake the work and extends your warranty up to 18 years! Giving you peace of mind that if anything was to happen to your lawn then you are covered. Alternatively, if you enjoy maintaining your own lawn you can purchase the K9 maintenance products to undertake the work yourself which if done to the specified requirements, can also extend your warranty up to 18 years. With K9 Turf you are not only paying for the quality of artificial grass and installation but the service you continue to receive post installation. As well as peace of mind that your K9 lawn is 100% pet friendly you no longer must worry about real turf issues such as, dry and patchy grass in the summer or boggy grass in the winter. Leaving you with a luscious, well maintained looking lawn which can be used all year round.

When considering artificial grass for pets, the importance of choosing a reputable company and quality product is crucial. A poor installation can eventually lead to having to replace your artificial lawn due to the build up of ammonia which leaves an unbearable odour. This doesn’t just depend on the type of grass but the installation itself, ensuring a strong and suitable subbase is installed to suit the usage of pets.

So, the answer to the question how much is pet friendly artificial grass is that it all depends on the company you choose to install it and the quality of pet friendly artificial grass. It is important to do your homework to ensure the grass you choose is in fact pet friendly. Unfortunately, many products on the market are not so honest, leaving many customers with unusable lawns only a couple of years after getting it installed. Pet friendly artificial grass may be a large one of cost but if done by a professional team will save you time and money for up to 25 years! Giving you more time to enjoy your garden rather than maintaining it.
