We Love Dogs, Grass Does’nt

Unfortunately, many people walk their dogs on the first lawn that they can find. While this isn’t the dog’s fault, chemicals in their urine can cause the grass in the affected areas to die off. If you see a dog walker on your lawn, try to find out who they are and politely advise them that they are trespassing on private property and causing damage to your lawn. Let them know that they’ll receive a bill from you as a result of any repairs you need to make. Most accidental offenders will steer clear of your lawn in the future.

Get Rid of Dog Urine Spots

The lawn is a nice place for your dog to play around and lay in the sun, however, you should not leave your dog on your lawn when you’re away. 

When your dog urinates on your lawn, the affected grass often dries out and doesn’t grow back. If you catch your dog in the act, you can easily flush out the area with water or add horticultural lime on the affected area to neutralize the urine. However, severely damaged areas may require reseeding.

Keeping an eye on your dog will ensure that both you and your dog will enjoy your lawn for time to come
