Wow, that’s pretty cranky!

take up a large section of the concrete and plant a grass that rarely needs mowing like Zoysia. Let your dog do its business there then take it for a long walk. We purchased a house on a large corner lot so this wouldn't be an issue for our pups, but as joked about above some people think our side yard is some kind of 'public' space and walk their dogs there, NOT GOOD.

And that's why God invented guns! (Sarcasm!)

Stay off my lawn! Not Sarcasm!

My neighbor's dog doesn't seem to mind the rocks, either!

But ever since I caught my next-door neighbor on my game camera, walking her dog on a leash straight out her door to my side yard, just so her dog could poop on my rocks, she's quit doing it.

However, the rocks did present a problem. When she looked up and noticed she was on candid camera, she seemed to have a lot of trouble cleaning up the mess. So I guess my recommendation, if you go the "other people's lawn" route, is to pick a house with an actual lawn -- or at least, no game camera!

My plans are to put artificial turf/carpet either over the concrete slabs or the gravel area. That being said both seem to have positives and negatives. Any help would be appreciated.

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
Trade the dog for a cat (or two). Problem solved. Now you can install a putting green like you always wanted to.

You are killing me (with laughter). Family dogs, like children are not “tradeable”.
