LazyLawn^® carried out an extensive transformation which included 300 square metres of Wonder Yarn 26mm, the winner of the Which? Best Buy Award for artificial grass in 2016, along with fencing, a sand pit, a dog pond and a dog tunnel at the Berwick Animal Rescue Centre.

The new play area was opened last month and has so far been a great success with the rescue dogs.

Jan Ross, manager of the Berwick Animal Rescue Centre, said: “Before the installation it was like a waste land, rough grass, very muddy and unsuitable for use for most of the year. The new play area looks fantastic. The dogs enjoy rolling around on the soft artificial grass and there is also the benefit of lots of regular off lead exercise, no matter what the weather.

“Having such a lovely place for potential owners and dogs to meet can only help the rehoming process along. Being able to disinfect the area is a huge asset and will help in reducing the spread of diseases.

“We chose LazyLawn® because of their reputation as a professional artificial grass installer. Their service, advice and guidance have been excellent throughout the whole process.”

Billy Steedman, from LazyLawn® Scotland who designed the area and worked closely with the rescue centre on the project, said: “This was a large and fun project to work on and the end result looks fantastic. We were pleased to attend the launch day at the centre where we could see first-hand the dog’s phenomenal reactions to their new and exciting play area.

“LazyLawn® is perfect for pets as it is non-toxic and hygienic. It does not discolour as a result of urine and waste. LazyLawn® is also resistant to damage by animals compared to natural turf.

“LazyLawn® only requires low maintenance, so it is an easy solution to replace muddy worn out areas. This makes it ideal for play and exercise areas at animal rescue centres and kennels, as well as gardens, to allow pets to play all year round and keep indoor areas and houses free from mucky paws. But most importantly the pets love the artificial grass!”

LazyLawn® also supplies its own non-toxic deodorizers called Peeclenz and Poopclenz, which are ideal for pet owners and animal rescue centres to neutralise pet odours.

This LazyLawn® project in Berwick-upon-Tweed was installed by the LazyLawn® Scotland team. LazyLawn® is available throughout the UK.
