Having a dog can bring so much joy to the whole family, however, most dogs consider the backyard as their own personal play area and can often rip it apart or tear it to shreds! If you have a dog and are looking at planting a new lawn in your garden, it’s a good idea to consider a lawn variety that is robust and can withstand some serious wear and tear. Below are our top two recommendations when choosing a lawn that not only looks good, but is best suited for pet owners.
TifTuf Bermuda Grass
TifTuf lawn is commonly used on high wear sports fields and golf courses, as it can withstand a lot of heavy foot traffic and repairs rapidly when damaged. Not only is TifTuf lawn extremely durable thanks to its self-repairing properties, it’s fine leaf blade and dense growing patterns make it a versatile choice for a variety of climates and uses. TifTuf is the number one choice for footy ovals by many local councils due to being granted the Smart Approved Water Mark, and is renowned for being able to hold up against the high demands of tough sporting activities. All in all, TifTuf Bermuda is a great choice for dog owners and active families who spend a lot of time in the backyard.
