How does Potrero's climate affect this service?
Potrero is rural border backcountry east of Tecate with hot summers, occasional winter freeze nights, equestrian-property concentration, and self-sufficient rural lifestyle. Wind-energy farms on the ridges visible across the area. Most installs are estate-scale rural projects.. We account for local conditions in every job.
Will pet turf smell after a few months?
Not if it's installed right. Smell comes from urine pooling under the turf with nowhere to drain. Our base lets urine pass straight through to the sub-base, and zeolite infill chemically binds ammonia. Most clients rinse the turf monthly with a hose. Heavy-use yards get a quarterly enzyme treatment.
Can dogs dig through pet turf?
Determined diggers can lift any turf, natural or artificial. We mitigate this with glued seams (no staples-only edges), bender board around the perimeter, and optional gopher mesh under the base. We have not had a dog dig through a properly installed seam.
