We love our puppies but they turned their outside area into a sandbox. They then drag in so much sand into the house you have to sweep at least 3 times a day. We decided to try and bring in some sod (Zoysia grass) in an attempt to reestablish some grass. After some research, Zoysia seemed like the best fit for our area and need. We ordered a pallet of it (500 sq-ft).
Here is the puppies sandbox they created.
