    Yes, grass that great attractor of bees and butrerflies .... And having fake grass automatically means you don't have flowers, plants and trees. Really!

    A friend had some put down for the same reason. It looks fine, he hoses it once a week, it doesn't smell, the dogs get to poo on grass and wee on grass, and the rest of the garden remains undestroyed.

    I visit a lot of gardens and many people who have fake grass tend to also have fake wee topiary shrubs in perfectly symmetrical positions and pots and a lot of concrete!

    Don't get upset, it's just a light hearted comment eh.

    It's the best thing we ever did, and the base is easy. Compacted sand bordered by slabs or wood and just roll out the grass.:beer::j:rotfl:
