For many homeowners, pets are part of the family—and that means the yard needs to work for them too. But just because your dog loves to dig or run doesn’t mean your outdoor space has to look like a dog park.

At Unlimited Landscaping, we specialize in pet-friendly landscaping that blends safety, comfort, and visual appeal. Here's how to create a beautiful, functional space that your pets will love—and you’ll be proud to show off.

1. Consider Artificial Turf for a Clean, Green Lawn

Artificial turf is one of the best low-maintenance solutions for pet owners. It’s durable, soft on paws, and easy to clean.

Benefits for pet owners:

• No mud or brown spots
• Drains quickly after rain or cleaning
• Resistant to digging and wear
• Great for play zones and potty areas

We can install turf with antimicrobial infill for extra cleanliness and odor control.

2. Designate Play Zones

Give your pet space to play without damaging flower beds or turf. Use pavers, gravel, or mulch paths to create a designated “racetrack” or play loop.

Ideas include:

• Concrete or paver walkways around the yard
• Fenced-off turf areas for free play
• Small agility features or open space for fetch

This keeps the rest of your yard neat while your pet stays active.

3. Install Pet-Safe Fencing

A secure, enclosed yard is a must. Our team installs custom fences designed with safety and style in mind.

We offer:

• Wood, vinyl, or metal fencing
• Options tall enough for jumpers
• Gates with secure latches
• Visibility-friendly options that still offer privacy

Bonus: A stylish fence can actually boost curb appeal.

4. Add Shade and Shelter

Pets love to sunbathe—but they also need a cool spot to rest. Include shade structures like:

• A custom pergola
• Built-in shade over a patio
• Large planters or trees that double as decor and shade

For full comfort, pair with soft turf or a raised area where your pet can lounge safely off the hot ground.

5. Choose Pet-Friendly Plants

Not all plants are safe for pets. In fact, many common landscaping flowers and shrubs can be toxic if ingested.

Safe picks include:

• Lavender
• Rosemary
• Marigolds
• Snapdragons
• Ornamental grasses

Our design team ensures your landscape is beautiful and safe for curious noses.

6. Avoid Sharp Edges and Loose Stones

Choose hardscape materials with comfort in mind. Rounded pavers, smooth concrete, and large stepping stones are ideal for walking and playing.

We avoid:

• Loose gravel or sharp stones that can hurt paws
• Exposed metal or wood edges
• Mulch that may cause splinters

Comfort and safety go hand in hand.

7. Plan for Easy Maintenance

With pets, quick cleanups are a must. We design low-maintenance yards with:

• Artificial turf for easy rinsing
• Drainage solutions to prevent puddles or smells
• Simple edging to keep things neat
• Pet-safe pathways for fast access to every part of the yard

Let your yard stay clean and stylish with minimal effort.
