| I have seen lawns done in artificial grass and they look realistic enough. I can see the attraction.
Our neighbours over the road got so fed up with trying to get decent grass to grow that they gave up and had a patio garden laid. With a number of holes for plants to grow and a few tubs, I have to say it looks really nice.

| Good quality lawn turf is nowhere near as expensive as artificial Alan. Looks better and is so much kinder to the planet, not to mention nicer to sit on for a picnic. |

| I have now seen a third artificial lawn - this one with "mower" stripes. All looked realistic but the one with stripes very tempting. I am torn between cost and convenience. My heart says proper turf but my head says artificial because it looks nearly as good, is nice all the year round, needs very little maintenance and I can sell my battery mower with extra charger and battery, powered scarifier, fertiliser spreader plus £30 worth of weed and feed as a kit to subsidise the extra cost. I think in typing that I have just reached a decision. ----------------------------------------- This post may contain controversial personal opinion, humour, ironic comment or sarcasm.
