The area is well landscaped with hedges and many azelias and other flowering shrubs.
Yet despite its apparent popularity with dog owners the grass is generally green and I have yet to notice in two years any dead or dying shrubs. I think the notion that dog pee kills landscape plants is greatly exaggerated.
I live in a courtyard villa and 99 percent of my dog's outdoor time in in my own fenced back yard. And the grass and shrubs there are doing just fine, thank you very much.

The key to your post is "Behind the mailbox and pool areas is a large grassy area". That's OK, but not the grassy areas between shuffle board courts near the mailboxes, and other areas that people walk thru with sandals.
I applaud you for doing your part. Wish others would follow your lead. Keep up the good work. BTW I've had dogs in the other places where I've lived.
