Are dogs killing your grass and ruining your backyard lawn? Furbaby need an outdoor potty area? Todd Farber, the Texas Horticulturist and Garden Guy, lays out the BEST material for dog toilet and outdoor potty areas right here.
“The solution is to design landscaping for the pet and then design landscaping for the client. When it comes to pet toilet issues, we look at where the pet does his business right now. If we can find a common area, we turn that area into an exclusive pet potty area for the dog(s),” advises Todd.

Todd recommends using pet-safe MULCH for the dog toilet and outdoor potty areas and NOT pea gravel.
“Pets don’t like walking on outdoor landscaping areas made of pea gravel or other types of rocks. I know Pinterest disagrees, but this is my real experience with thousands of backyard landscaping clients of what really works!” quipped Todd.
What kind of mulch?
“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,” added Todd.
