We installed Olive-92 Stemgrass in our backyard specifically with our two German Shepherds in mind. I was worried about the turf getting too hot or being easily torn up, but it’s performed incredibly well in both categories. The drainage is excellent and prevents odor buildup, which was a huge concern for us with pets. Plus, it feels surprisingly cool underfoot, even during those scorching Texas afternoons.
What impressed me most was how realistic the turf looks. The subtle brown thatch layer gives it that natural, slightly sun-kissed look that real lawns have here. The dogs love it, and we’ve noticed less dirt getting tracked into the house. It’s firm enough for running and playing, yet still soft enough for lounging. I’m genuinely surprised at how much it’s improved our outdoor space-not just for the pets, but for us too.
