Dog-Focused Hybrid Turf That Keeps Grass Growing and Yards Usable
Natura® hybrid turf is engineered to protect natural grass in dog yards and high-use pet areas where traditional turf fails. Unlike artificial turf that covers the ground, Natura works with living grass and soil so canine activity, drainage, and natural growth coexist in a resilient, low-maintenance outdoor surface.
Whether for apartment complex dog parks, daycares, boarding facilities, or private backyards, the Natura hybrid approach lets you keep the look and feel of real grass while solving the common problems associated with pet traffic and wear.
What Natura Is
Natura is a patent pending hybrid turf system engineered specifically for dog traffic. It combines a breathable synthetic grass layer with the ability for natural grass to grow through it, creating a surface designed to withstand paws, claws, acceleration, and even some digging behavior.
Its perforated structure allows sunlight, water, and air to reach the soil so grass can establish and regenerate beneath the turf. Instead of replacing the yard, Natura reinforces it in the zones where dogs cause the most damage.
The hybrid design lifts paws above mud and exposed soil while keeping the ground biologically active. Unlike traditional artificial turf systems, Natura works with living grass as part of the surface, supporting cleaner conditions, stronger turf, and long term landscape health in high dog use environments.
Why Natura Matters
Dog traffic destroys turf in ways that standard landscape solutions are not designed to handle.
In dog parks, daycares, multifamily pet areas, and residential dog yards, turf failure is driven by paw and claw behavior, not simple foot traffic. Dogs accelerate, decelerate, pivot, and dig in tight, repeatable zones. Claws apply lateral tearing forces that pull grass out at the crown, while repeated use prevents recovery. Concentrated moisture and urine loading in the same areas further compound the problem.
These forces overwhelm traditional turf systems. Natural grass cannot regenerate fast enough, and general-purpose turf reinforcement products are not engineered to resist claw-driven tearing or continuous lateral stress. The result is familiar to landscape professionals: mud, bare soil, and constant callbacks.
Natura exists because dog wear is a distinct landscape battle. It is engineered specifically to lift paws above the soil, resist claw damage, and protect the grass crown so turf can recover under canine use. By addressing the unique mechanical and biological stresses created by dogs, Natura allows landscape professionals to deliver durable, living turf solutions in environments where conventional approaches repeatedly fail.
Where Natura Performs Best
Natura is designed for a wide range of canine environments, including:
By encouraging natural grass to grow through the turf mesh, Natura helps yards stay greener and more functional year-round compared with either natural grass or traditional artificial turf alone.
Why Natura Works
Natura hybrid design blends the strength of a synthetic grass layer with a living grass substrate beneath:
Perforated surface lets sunlight and liquids pass directly to the soil.
3/4″ grass-like blades keep paws and feet above the ground while protecting emerging turf.
Grass seed and existing turf grow through the mesh, eventually anchoring the system naturally.
- Reinforced turf to stand up better to paws and claws
The result is an outdoor surface that feels natural underfoot, supports biological soil function, and still holds up to dog activity.
Not A Traditional Artificial Turf. A Living Solution.
Unlike typical artificial turf, Natura does not cover or suffocate the ground. It allows grass to grow through and establishes a surface that is both resilient and biologically active. This supports ongoing turf health, reduces heat buildup, and keeps odors from building up the way they can on impermeable synthetic surfaces.
Dogs still experience the natural sensory environment of a real yard, including scent and texture, which contributes to happier, more engaged behavior.

Pittsfield, MA
The turf has held up AMAZING thru the snow- and mostly ice! We are just so excited to install the rest! I have a great reference to the dog gurus, thanks for having them reach out! There are a few others in the owners group that have put it in and are equally happy, this is a really, really big thing for our industry!

Natura moves and flexes like real grass. Poop and pee goes through to the ground…I don’t have to disinfect!
West Roxbury, MA
Natura Pro Turf was very easy to install. It was easy to cut with just scissors. I spread a layer of loam and added grass seed before I installed the turf and now the grass is growing through it. No more muddy dog paws, love it!
