Homeowner needs a durable, low-maintenance ground cover that withstands dogs and eliminates mud, without having to repeatedly replace sod and manage mud inside the house.

Existing lawn care solutions (sod, seed, services) fail because dogs create mud pits that require constant expensive rework; no easy, durable alternative is known.
