Those of you who hate it are either hippies or too damn broke to even get it done, I have my whole front and back yard turfed out and it’s AMAZING!!!! I love it!!!!
I gave it a thought but if I want to dig to put anything in at a later time like a tree, swimming pool, or floating patio I feel like I'm just wasting money.
Some people just want to feel real grass under their feet. That and It's an extensive and costly project to fix a broken water line, plant a tree, trench to install any cable or gas lines. By your wording you sound like a peach
Yeah, it can get pretty hot. Theres also static. Of youre stood on it doing something that produces static then because youre not earthed as soon as you touch something that is earthed, ZAP. Still, it's a lot less work than grass, and you can just wear shoes.
Don’t get this on your front and back yard because if the summer sun hit it full blown it will make this really hot you can’t even walk or lay on it even the dogs feel the heat
This stuff you don't have to cut though The lawn is always a certain length and you only have to have people deal with it twice a year instead of almost every weekend
Do you do your own yard work or do you hire people to come do it for you, like a landscape service? if you maintain it yourself, did you have to put in the grass from scratch or did you inherit an already well tended lawn? is your grass seed type or plug? I ask because my mom bought our house with grass that grows by runner/plug and it looks just like this turf except in places near the shady trees. It's beautiful, lush, strong and vigorous. It even caught fire one summer but grew back even lusher. Required very little mowing to maintain, stayed near about 2-3 inches and rarely had any weeds because it was so thick and healthy. This was native grass and it's hard to find and expensive to buy. Her new place had imported seed grass like you buy in bags at the Home Stores. no matter how much water and work they give, it kept dying in spots or dog damage from theirs and neighbors dog. They tried reseeding, but birds and squirrels joined the battle. Then found out both Dad and the dog were allergic to the newly seeded grass. So much effort goes into it just for drought to make all go up in dusty smoke. Weeds take root in the sparse places requiring preemergent treatments, just to keep it under control. water limitations just ruins all the effort, and you still gotta cut it because it keeps growing over 4-5 inches like... tall grass! Then rake or mulch the clippings, dethatch once a year to keep the roots health, and next spring overseed, for any sprigs that died during the winter... Wash, Rinse, Repeat. Money down the drain. My own yard is nothing but a jumble of dandelion, plantain, clover and some prickly stuff that just blew in last year. not a blade of actual grass. Mowing is a mercy but looks worse than leaving it to look like a weedy meadow. Grass seed can't compete with the deeply rooting vigorous weed seeds blown in from the neighbors' yards. I tried. It failed. It's also on a slope so it's a pain to cut whether with a walk behind or a riding mower. I don't water it cuz it's just weeds, but I also don't enjoy sitting in it cuz it's just prickly pokey weeds. For all the effort that goes into putting in an artificial turf. I am sure I've already spent as much effort maintaining a pathetic patch of growth, and mosquito/flea haven multiple times over that I don't even get to enjoy by look or feel. I love the natural grass at my childhood home but it would cost as much or more to buy the plugs to do an entire yard and there is still a chance it might die on me before it gets established. Plus, I woulnt have to store and maintain, lawn mowers, edgers, or weedwackers, nor chemical weed products, fertilizers, antifungals, pest control products, outdoor irrigation( I don't anyway but...) or pay some company to do all that for me. Artificial turn requires raking up leaves and things that fall onto it occasionally. and watering once in a while if it gets hot when you want to walk or play on it. seems like a big trade off. It seems like it'd be worth the trouble to enjoy the spacea and not feel burdened with yard care. I'd rather spend that time growing potted plants , bushes, flowers and things to beautify the yard even more.
Our small cottage garden doesn’t get sun in certain areas so the grass keeps dying. I’ve seeded, relaid the lawn and seeded again but it keeps dying. We have also had a company come and feed it but it never helped. This is why we have made the decision this year to remove it and have artificial grass installed.
@@DDD11239 but then nowhere for my daughter to play as it would just be plant pots everywhere. Trust me we considered all options and are glad we went with the fake grass 👍
with the amount of money you'd save on lawn care, seems worth it. sadly turf if frowned upon in majority of places in USA and i doubt homeowner associations would allow it, or at very least you'd be made fun of by your neighbors but hey. I don't want to spent what little time i have on weekends mowing every week and dealing with all the other maintenance needed and it likely pays itself off.
We have just had some artificial grass installed and the people laying it told us that adding sand over the top of the grass makes it smell and blocks it from draining.
If its summer time, your yard will be so hot you don't even want to go outside. Even if you have a kiddy pool or pool in your backyard. Not good for people who own dogs. Will smell like urine and poop, and will burn your dog foot. You need to clean it often with proper solution to get rid of the smell. No thanks! I prefer natural grass as its better. Yes, it doesn't conserve water, but with fake grass you still need to clean it. Natural grass it is good for animals and insects which are beneficial for our environment. We have so much plastic already. Now more grass. Leaking micro plastic down the drain.
@@meganm3270 I don't know. Would grass regrow of it was removed? 🤔 My yard was clay before sod was added. I don't think grass would grow if the sod was removed.
This isn't art. This is stupid. Grow really grass. Better yet grow trees and hedges. Let the wildlife come. Enjoy viewing the wildlife. Not This artifical nonsense.
You’re aware there’s an environmental trade off between natural and synthetic grasses, right? They each have benefits and drawbacks. It’s inaccurate to state things as you have without saying the rest because you’re only saying half the equation. And of course I’m going to assume you use no plastic products whatsoever, correct? Because that’s the primary environmental heartburn with synthetic grass-the carbon footprint in manufacturing it. You can’t be a hypocrite telling a small number of people who have synthetic grass they’re “bad for the environment” while actively contributing to plastic pollution yourself, on a daily basis. Grass is a one time purchase. The shit you buy isn’t. Hop down off your pedestal and do your homework before getting sanctimonious with the world.
@@fashiondiva6972 Could you elaborate this trade off you mentioned ? Just curious. I'm not keen of the fake grass idea, although I see that is practical and mistakenly beautiful
@@ulquiorracifer6706 as far as I can tell the trade-off would be you have to water real grass which means you waste water and with fake grass You don't have to water it or burn fossil fuels to cut it like real grass

If you don’t know how to look after a lawn, don’t have one. They’re not the benchmark of a good garden. You can have something that is good for the environment and you, like clover turf or you can buy this crap and watch the birds and bees leave (the planet). Outdoor carpets like this are tacky and highly destructive. They also *will* need weeding, they *do* fade, they *do* get hot, they *do* get unhygienic and they *do* release microplastics into your soil and the water table. Your soil underneath will rot and you will likely affect your neighbour’s garden too. I am a gardener and whilst I’m not a massive fan of real grass lawns (because there are far better ways of using gardens in the 21st century) every plastic lawn I’ve come across has been a bad idea.
I feel like in 30years. All lawns will be replaced with this. Then slowly trees. Then we'll run out of oxygen n the world will look like Mars a century later..lol just a thought
That fake turf grass looks surprisingly realistic👍
I have honestly lost my mind in quarantine.i am watching it and laughing like a madman.
Where are you that you still have quarantine?
Wtf your still quarantined? Get out in the real world and stop wasting your own time.
I had covid twice and can have even third time because nothing was going on
You quarantined? 😂

Or we are capable of the simple task of growing a nice lawn, unlike you people.

Fun fact! Artificial grass is as hot as black asphalt in the sun! Burn your feet, or the dog's paws - fun for the whole family!
🤣 they left that part out. 🤘🏼
Fake grass has come a long way! Looks very realistic and its always green.
Don’t get this on your front and back yard because if the summer sun hit it full blown it will make this really hot you can’t even walk or lay on it even the dogs feel the heat
You shouldn't lay on grass in the first place. Get a lawn chair.
Omg this is amazing
Do you put nails and or what if there is a seem
That seems like more work than natural grass

@@shadowsoulless6227 Again, low maintenance plants could replace all your grass.
@@Metqa Low maintenace plants or wildflowers could have replaced your grass. Much cheaper than fake turf.
Apparently growing grass is a lost art in the U.K.? Here's the recipe... Dirt, grass seed, water, sun.

Fake grass is a great alternative, but how long does it last? and is it even recyclable?
yes
Satisfying!
Does it get hot?
Most people that get fake grass are fake people probably got a selfie stick too
So funny. However, it does work well in malls. I've seen a mall with playground and fake grass it does work well compared to the real one.
Naw just a dog that pisses Xenomorph blood. The water hose can't keep up with the nitrogen burns.
I wonder how many chemicals and plastic are released into the soil and ends up in a water stream.
very nice, well done.

Low maintenance plants (like wildflowers) is a cheap alternative to a lawn.
I don't wanna put fake grass under my feet. 🤭
That's actually pretty interesting
A fake grass that needs more maintenance than the real grass
You're kidding me right? A real lawn needs to be cut just about every week.
In Thneedville...
I would love to have this inside my bedroom
Thanks!
Thank you, but i prefer natural grass. Its biodegradable.
Charmingly 👍
I'd do it if I had the money. Probably feels go on the feet and you never have to cut it. 👍🏻
Would HOT Florida sun turn it blue?
We have just had some artificial grass installed and the people laying it told us that adding sand over the top of the grass makes it smell and blocks it from draining.
Again this is art insider
This would be good for the desert instead of using water.
Desert? Its made of synthetic polymer and it will get BURNING hot like asphalt!!
So if you have a shady yard where it's hard to grow grass this would be perfect.
