Has anyone got one of these?
I am contemplating it within the next few months as our natural lawn is a mess, and despite my best efforts has never been anything else...
It has a hard life.... Our lawn is 3m at narrowest by about 18m. We have two labradors that charge about on it and rip it up. An 8yo DS who plays football on it and rips it up... a 2yo DS who wants to ride his little tykes car over it but gets stuck in the mud... And a trampoline that despite being moved regularly keeps leaving dead patches of grass underneath when i forget to move it regularly Shade over at least half of it that cuases a lot of bare patches- despite various different types of soil and treatments.
Currently it is a muddly mess. My living room (thank god for hard flooring) is also constantly a muddy mess due to dogs going out and coming in with wet muddy paws.
The top of the garden is laid to patio with the same paving used as a path down the side to the back gate.
I am thinking about the artificial lawn so that i don't have the muddy mess problems, don't have to worry about trampoline, and it looks respectable....
But will it look terribly fake...
I have seen various websites advertising different types ranging from £6.99 sqm to about £32sqm. The very cheap ones look like they will look fake but not sure about the midrange ones...
