Make no mistake about it, Las Vegas residents love their pets. Due to the fact that Las Vegas also has more than 300 sunny days every year, pets in the city love the outdoors. Even if they are simply lounging in the sun in their backyard, pets love to be outside as much as humans do. This is why artificial turf makes so much sense if you have pets in Las Vegas, because it provides them with an area that they can feel comfortable that is also low maintenance and able to be easily cleaned. Because Las Vegas gets hot, you must understand that surfaces that conduct heat will get hotter than the air temperature. Concrete and asphalt get especially hot due to their dark colors, and can easily reach temperatures that will burn pet feet when the air temperature is over 100. For this reason, pets will choose to not walk on hot concrete surfaces, and if they do go out to lounge outside they will not stay out very long. Real grass conducts heat far better than concrete or landscape rock, but the heat also will make the grass thin and difficult to manage. In addition, you will need to continually mow and water the natural grass, which will be even more stressed by pet urine. Ask any pet owner in Las Vegas who has real grass if it does very well in areas that are frequented by pets and they will probably answer no.
This is why artificial turf is so perfect for pets in this climate. Fake grass distributes heat better than concrete or landscape rock, and at the same time it provides a soft surface for pets to lay or run on. They will be naturally drawn to it in order to relieve themselves, and the fact that modern fake grass products allow for far better drainage than those in the past will mean less pooling of urine that will eventually create an odor issue. Cleanup is easy on fake grass, just hose it off every now and again in order to wash away any debris that has built up from the pet going to the bathroom, and you will continually have a pet area that is both good looking and also serves the purpose of providing an area for pets to call their own. Because there is no need for continual sprinklers and irrigation systems, you will save money on water as well.
