Dog- and People-Friendly Yard

This small space accommodates three dogs and their people. Stone dust, a material known for reducing doggy odors, was used to create pet-friendly paths while plants beds were added for human enjoyment.
Tip: Although stone dust is an inexpensive and low-maintenance option, ¾-inch pea gravel is better for windy areas.
FYI: Indoor dog space is a growing trend; 13% of dogs have their own room.
