How it works
Real grass, without the subscription
You buy approx. $8 worth of sod locally. It drops into the Grassifier®. Your dog uses real grass, and you are not paying anyone every month for the privilege.
The setup
Three steps. Five minutes. No tools.
It arrives assembled. You are not building anything - you are planting it.
Grab sod and soil
About $8 worth of sod from your local garden center. We tell you exactly what to grab and where to find it.
Drop it in
Liner, soil, sod, done. Five minutes on the floor and it's ready to go.
Let them at it
Real grass they actually want to use. Pull the tray, rinse, slide it back. That's it. No fuss. No weekly swaps. No smell.
The question everybody asks
Yes, you buy your own sod. That's the point.
Everyone else posts you grass on a subscription and charges you for the privilege, forever. We'd rather you walked into your local garden center, spent about eight dollars, and kept the difference.
We'll tell you exactly what to grab and where to find it near you. Or grow your own from seed - usually two to three weeks, depending on your climate and how you grow it.
What's underneath
The bit that keeps the grass alive
Under the sod sits our patent-pending drainage and airflow system. Water leaves, air gets in, roots don't rot - which is why a piece typically lasts two to three months rather than a fortnight. It's also why there's no smell.
Made from UV-resistant ABS polymer, so a west-facing balcony in high summer doesn't touch it. Light enough to move one-handed, stable enough that an excited labrador can't shift it.
What you actually do
What to buy
About $8 worth of sod - usually two pieces about 16 x 24 in, which sit side by side and fill it.
One large bag of potting mix, about 1 cu ft. You will use about 1.5-2 inches.
That is the whole shopping list. Liners come in the box - a 10-pack, not an upsell.
Keeping it alive
Treat it like a small patch of lawn. Water it, give it light, let the tray drain.
Most people get 2-3 months out of a piece. That is an average, not a promise - light, drainage, climate, how often your dog uses it and how well you look after it all move that number. Looked after well, some customers get six months. Indoors and neglected, closer to 2-4 weeks.
When it is done, cut it in half, lift it into the trash, and lay the next one.
The honest math
The numbers nobody else will show you
Every other real grass potty posts you the grass on a subscription. Here's what that actually costs over a year.
| Option | To start | Per year | Real grass? | What you live with |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Grassifier® | $219 | $30-$70 | Yes | Empty the tray when required, swap the grass every 2-3 months on average. No smell. No weekly changes. |
| Grass delivery subscription | $0 | $1,557-$2,337 | Yes | Wait in for deliveries, then swap and bin the grass every week or two. Forever. |
| Fake grass pad | $30-$400 | – | No | Empty and scrub it every day, or it stinks |
| Pee pads | $10-$40 | $150-$440 | No | Bin two or three a day, and smell them in between |
Grassifier®: $219 once, then approx. $8 worth of sod, which typically lasts 2-3 months. Subscription and pad figures from RGPP market research, August 2026. Pee pads costed at 2-3 pads a day at $0.20-$0.40 each - puppies go through more.
