What type of soil/base to use for an outdoor pet area?

My condo has a small area off a concrete patio for my dog to use as a bathroom. It's currently just a dirt base, weed barrier, and artificial grass. It's not an ideal system but it's the one we inherited from the previous owner. I want to see if there was anything better than regular fill dirt to put down under the turf for better drainage to reduce odor. I was thinking possibly stone and/or sand? I can't replace the turf with anything other than artificial grass (renter). submitted by /u/ironavenger024 [link] [comments]
