concrete: flat surface but has the epoxy paint, not sure if urine with go through it. Will the Florida heat melt the turf backing to the epoxy concrete.

gravel area: hard to lay carpet on rocky surface, thinking I would have to lay down sand and stake carpet down over it
Dogs adapt quickly. I was concerned that my yard was stone. The breeder told me to look around. She didn’t have grass either. Mine uses the yard with no problems. Obviously yours is used to grass but in time he will get used to his new environment. Welcome to The Villages where our dogs are our kids.
