• If youre a pet owner and planning to revamp your
  garden design, then its important to create a
  backyard that is pet friendly. You may want to
  build a small kennel for your loving pet, and
  utilize the space well to plant some beautiful
  flowers too.
• You may be in a dilemma to invest in revamping
  your garden, since you worry about your pets
  damaging the greenery, or the pesticides turning
  out to be harmful for your pets. However,
  creating a pet friendly garden can take away your
  worries. Your pet will be overjoyed to have a
  kennel of its own and so will you when you see a
  garden landscaped in a way that will be friendly
  for everyone.

Here are some tips to design a backyard that will
surely delight your dog or cat1) Install Paths
of Stone

• If you have a pet who likes to play outdoors and
  is just like a resident of your home, its good
  to install paths of stone or bricks as they will
  be more strong and firm. Avoid using gravel or
  mulch paths dogs can easily spoil the look of it
  as they playfully go around the yard.

2) Use Chicken Wires to Keep Pets Away

• If you have to plant flowers, vegetables, fruits,
  or any low rising plants, it is best to get
  temporary chicken wires or net to keep these out
  of reach of pets. Else theyre likely to chew on
  the sticks and spoil the look of the garden.

3) Use High Rise Fences

• Install high rise and solid fences to prevent dog
  or other pets from climbing over to the other
  side. This will protect your plants. Also, it is
  important to ensure that there is minimal gap
  between the fences so as to keep the dogs and
  cats from passing from in between. For cats, you
  will need to install a cat run, else you really
  cant keep cats out of your yard.

4) Use Large Plants

• Whether you want to plant vegetables, annuals or
  perennials, its good to opt for larger plants
  than those that are low rising. Also, go for high
  rising trees so theyre a little out of reach for
  the pets to chew on.

5) Plant Lots of Grass

• If you want to keep plants and veggies out of
  reach of pets, plant grass at most places. It
  will be safe for the pets and you wont have to
  use many pesticides that you may otherwise have
  to in case of planting flowers and vegetables.
  Also, pets are unlikely to spoil the look of well
  mowed grass.

6) Keep The Soil Moist

• Make sure not to leave empty spaces between
  plants as pets love to dig in soil. This is
  especially true for cats as they love digging in
  dry soil. Therefore, make sure the soil is wet
  and moist. The best to cover up small spaces
  between plants is to plant herbs like thyme and
  other herbs to fill the space and prevent pets
  from digging into the soil.
