    Have you ordered samples? I got maybe 30 samples in total before deciding which lawn to go for - I think the majority were free. Photos don't do them justice.

    My friend has artificial grass. It got too hot for the dog during the hot weather and now the dog is reluctant to go on it

    hi thanks for replies. yes i have as many samples as i can gather its wittled down to 2 but i am worried 1 is a lot more inferior then the others so to speak on a technical level? i dont know if weight has anything to do with the quality? i want it to last as long as possible.


    Also it would be for a play area section / 30-40% of garden. our dogs will have grass on rest so they dont *need* to go on it as such :)
