About Project

This artificial turf installation in San Jose, CA, transformed a pet owner’s backyard into a clean, durable, and low-maintenance space. The homeowner, Cathy, runs a pet-sitting business, caring for 7-8 dogs daily. Her challenge was to create a yard that was safe, non-toxic, and resistant to wear and tear from active dogs.

Faced with issues of mud, dust, and frequent lawn damage, Cathy opted for Heavenly Greens artificial turf as the ideal solution. The project utilized Heavenly Greens MaxxFlow artificial turf, ensuring optimal drainage, durability, and cleanliness. The new turf installation eliminated muddy puddles, reduced allergens, and provided a soft yet sturdy surface for dogs to run and play on.

Our Client’s Challenge

Cathy needed a pet-friendly yard that could endure heavy foot (and paw) traffic while remaining visually appealing and easy to maintain. Her main concerns included:

Mud and lawn damage – Frequent wear and tear turned the yard into a muddy mess, especially during wet weather.
High maintenance costs – Replacing sod and maintaining a natural lawn was expensive and time-consuming.
Pet safety and cleanliness – Dogs tracked dirt and dust inside the house, and she wanted a cleaner, allergen-free solution.
Proper drainage – Traditional grass and some turf products with hole-punched backing did not provide adequate drainage for pet waste and rainwater.

Our Approach & Solution

To address Cathy’s concerns, Heavenly Greens installed a durable and pet-friendly artificial turf system with the MaxxFlow drainage technology, providing:

Superior Drainage: The fully porous backing allows liquids to drain evenly, preventing puddles and odors.
Enhanced Safety & Comfort: The infill system provides a cushioned surface that protects dogs’ joints and prevents slipping.
Low Maintenance: No need to mow, fertilize, or reseed—simple rinsing keeps the turf clean.
Durability: Designed to withstand heavy pet use, the artificial turf maintains its lush green appearance year-round.
Aesthetic Appeal: Looks and feels like natural grass, maintaining a beautiful, mud-free outdoor space.

What Our Client Says…

“I would pay for artificial turf even if I didn’t have a pet-sitting business. The cost is well worth the savings in time and the happiness from the dogs’ perspectives. I like to throw the ball for the dogs, and artificial turf is the safest way to do this. The infill provides give and take on the dogs’ joints, and I no longer have to worry about muddy paws tracking dirt inside the house.”
