Dog Friendly Back Yard Landscaping
Dogs will spend more time in the backyard than we will, so it’s worth taking a moment to consider what they might enjoy and what they might destroy when planning a new backyard landscaping installation project.
Dogs prefer to relieve themselves on turf, so plan to dedicate an area of your small backyard to this purpose. In addition, dogs love to guard their territory, so pay special attention to the perimeter of your backyard as they tend to run back and forth along the fence line. Either avoid planting altogether along fence lines or choose more robust plantings.
In all cases, make sure you check to make sure your plantings are non-toxic.
