Alternative lawns


Question
I could care less about what I plant in the portion of my yard fenced in for my dogs.  The rest of my lawn is a traditional grass lawn, all well and good, but I would like to plant something different in the dog yard.  Its about 130 x 50 feet.  My only requirements for the plant must be hardy ( mixed between sun and shade under trees, plus the dog traffic) and green.  I don't care if it flowers, needs mowing, or is considered undesirable or a weed. I am very interested in a clover lawn, but I have heard they are more fragile than turf lawns.  Rye grass as well.  Any ideas would be great.  Thanks Rae

Answer
Rae,Kikuyugrass is best for Dogs and high traffic. Its a beautiful turfgrass if you are able to find it in your area. Kikuyu is salt tallerent, so it will not burn with dog urine. I sell to many Dog parks in my area. Check out my Web site www.emeraldkikuyu.com  All i grow is Kikuyu Sod, you can check - out my Turfgrass pictures.

Thank you.
