Hi Everyone
I have a 50 foot lawn which is being completely torn up by my two new
dogs. Since the weather has turned bad it is becoming one large bog.
I am looking for alternative floor coverings which will be more
resistant to the constant attack of my two dogs than grass.
A quick search of the net mentions using clover but there is not very
much information on what type to use or weather it will be hardy
enough. I also have a friend who says he seems to remember reading
about a conifer which is very slow growing and soft under foot,
apparently an ideal floor covering but can’t remember any more than
that.
I really don’t want to resort to paving over the whole garden so any
suggestions would be very welcome.
Thank you
Steve

You need one of those lead pellet projectors.

dont think theres any grass impervious to dogs . there are some
heartier varieties of grass, but not dog proof .

Thanks for the replies. Yes I am in the UK and ever since my neighbor
decided
to pave over his garden I have had drainage problems.

Check the local regulations about altering drainage. Most places around
here prohibit changes to drainage that affect the neighbors. You might
be able to get your neighbors to go in with you on a drainage solution.
