Default How many of you have or have considered artificial grass?

I'm just wanting to get some feedback
on the general feel of artificial grass in the gardening community.


Someone close to us has had it done in the front garden.Â* It could do
with not being highlighter green in colour

I fitted my own in the front garden (back garden still waiting for some
raised sleeper beds) very glad I did due to not having time to look
after a proper lawn.Â* I bought a good quality grass that has some brown
tufts in it rather than being all green, if there was some that looked
"less perfect" I would probably go for it, some moss does break up the
uniform colour after a few years ...


The one near us probably cost a fair bit. It took a couple of blokes
the best part of a week digging out a space beneath it, fitting a hard
bed, and a sort of grid to lay it all on to. And so the rainwater must
drain somewhere, too. But if there had been a range of surfaces
available, I'm quite sure they went for the least natural-looking one
they could find.
