“Pets don’t like walking on outdoor dog areas made of pea gravel, concrete or river rocks.  This is my real experience with thousands of backyard landscaping clients of what really works!” 

MULCH mistakes to avoid:  “We use shredded hardwood mulch with no dyes.  I stay away from red mulch and black mulch. They contain dyes and petroleum products that are not safe for pets or the environment.”

So now you know!! The BEST flooring material for a dog run is …..MULCH!!
