We are saddened to see the continual rise in customers who have had latex grass installed for its low maintenance and clean aesthetics, only to resort to ripping the lawn up and replacing it after merely a year or two. The primary reason being due to the smell, caused by pets using the lawn as a toilet, becoming so unbearable. That’s why we developed K9 Turf, the UK’s number 1 pet friendly artificial grass suitable for all your family and (furry) friends to enjoy!
What is K9 Turf?
K9 Turf is a high-quality artificial grass designed specifically for dogs. It is manufactured in the USA by industry leaders in artificial grass production. The specialist Pro Flow Urethane backing speeds up the flow of moisture, leaving your artificial lawn free from ammonia and harmful bacteria, unlike latex backed grass which holds moisture, causing your artificial grass to smell strongly of ammonia. K9 Turf is your only choice when it comes to artificial grass for pets that is completely safe for your pets and the entire family to add peace of mind your investment is guaranteed. Manufactured in the USA, K9 Turf has been designed using advanced technology to create the highest quality artificial grass for pets. K9 Turf follows a 4 Phase System, each with its own purpose in ensuring your lawn is safe for all pets and children.
K9 4 Phase System
1. Firstly, we remove the existing turf using a turf cutter to ensure it is all gone. We do this to a depth of 5-8cm, leaving enough room for the new base. If edging is needed, we use a specialist steel edging. This product is easy to install and can create any shape or straight edge, it is also very discrete creating a more finished looking lawn. We do not use timber edging as eventually this can rot and if used by pets to urinate on it will hold moisture and cause your lawn to smell.
2. K9 turf is the world’s first and only 4 Layer Polyurethane Backing with a full Pro Flow Drainage System. It has a rapid flow, woven backing that allows all moisture to flow through the whole backing. There are no drainage holes in K9 Turf, the entire woven backing itself is the drainage “hole”!
3. The K9 Turf Zeolite Infill is a very important aspect of a K9 Turf installation. K9 Turf is manufactured specifically for the zeolite infill to sit in the bed of the grass. The zeolite infill catches the pet urine and it crystalises once moist. The crystallisation takes away the strong ammonia smell, unlike latex backed grasses or grasses with only a few drainage holes.
When it rains on the K9 Turf or it is watered with a hose, it then releases the crystalised ammonia, through to the backing of the grass and disposed of into the base works. This advanced drainage system, allows for you to enjoy your artificial grass ALL year round, with no harmful smells or bacteria, especially in the summer months! K9 turf comes with a full 18 Year Guarantee (T&C’s Apply), giving you that peace of mind with your investment. All K9 Turf products are available for you to buy through our online sites all year round.
4. K9 Turf Enzyme Cleaner is the No.1 artificial grass cleaner available on the market. It doesn’t just mask odours, it penetrates the turfs surface, eliminating odours and killing bacteria. The specialist enzyme cleaner travels through the grass to the subbase, following the trail from pet waste eliminating every particle. The cleaner acts as an organic waste degrader and controls toxic ammonia which can be harmful to pets, children and anybody else using the lawn. K9 Turf Enzyme Cleaner has been manufactured in the USA by ProVetLogic, a leading company in pet products. The product is nontoxic meaning it is environmentally friendly and 100% safe for all cats and dogs. Not only does the cleaner eliminate odour and kill bacteria, it also uses a bleaching action (without the bleach) to brighten the surface, leaving them looking sparkling clean with a fresh scent. The inherent biological action in the product cleans the artificial grass in between the required cleaning maintenance which is approximately every 3 months.
