Hi guys what does everybody think about fake grass as I want to lay some in my front garden

Some are better then others but what you will find it can get pretty grim, birds can crap on it and then seeds grow into weeds and possible mould.

Thanks for the heads up I guess I'll have to clean it every couple of weeks

My work sells the Oryzon range, so I just took a look, some of them look really good quality.

We have only had it on display a week or so and not sold any so can't really give any feedback. I missed when the rep came in so don't have that much knowledge on it but I just know there is a few issues like I mentioned with mould and weeds mainly through bird crap.

My daughter has had some (2mx5m about) in the small back garden of her London flat for about 5 years - it's been brilliant - not cheap - no idea of make. Godsend - no grass cutting and useable all year!

Just doing ours. The cost of washing the 3 kids trousers of replacing them due to grass stains and all the carpet cleaning due to them trapping mud in along with the dog has made us do it. No mess, no cutting so no mess to clean after.

£100 cutting lawn
£1000 washing / new clothes
£500 carpet cleaning
£100 upkeep of lawn

Total £1700

Just a rough working out

Having the whole back done, landscaped so all level and proper, all supplied and fitted for £2000. Back yard is huge. 10kg sharp sand £8 and a decent brush £10 once every 2 months give it a brush done.

Can wash it with hose, jet washer (snow foam) of dog muck etc.

It only looks terrible if you buy cheap rubbish.
