Your furry friend brings endless joy, but their playful paws can wreak havoc on your beautifully landscaped backyard. At Genstar Masonry, we understand the challenge of maintaining an elegant outdoor space while keeping your four-legged family members happy. Here’s your comprehensive guide to protecting your yard and creating a dedicated dog run that both you and your pet will love.
The Backyard Dilemma: Dogs vs. Landscaping
Does this sound familiar? You’ve invested in a stunning backyard, only to find your dog has other plans – digging holes, creating worn paths, and turning your lush lawn into a patchy mess. You’re not alone. Many homeowners across Long Island face the same challenge, but there’s a solution that preserves both your landscape and your pet’s freedom to play.
