    Hate it with a passion, but it would be easy enough to rip out so wouldn’t necessarily put me off a house. I’d welcome changing the garden as a project, although the fake grass would have to go pretty instantly!

    I get that it makes sense for people who have no interest in gardening and just want a low maintenance space for kids or dogs, but in a landscaped garden like yours or like the pics attached in this thread, just no. Just wrong.

    A much better idea as you seem to be into gardening would be sow wildflower meadows and mow paths through rather than try and keep all of it perfectly manicured. Perfect lawns are definitely overrated.

    I'd be very happy with artificial grass provided it wasn't the cheap and nasty sort.

    The only other sort of artificial grass I've seen is the expensive and nasty sort... :rotfl:

    One of my neighbours put in fake grass a couple of years ago. It looks ridiculous. Mind you, he got carried away and has it going up a wall too, so it wouldn't look any better if he tried real grass.
    Selling up and moving to the seasaw. Mortgage-free by 2020 :)
