I love the idea of astroturf in the garden but that just looks a bit odd.

Why did you decide to have the stones around the edge and not just turf it?
Just out of interest.

More importantly how do you get down to it and back up.

That area of the gardens isn't perfectly square, to have turfed it all the rolls would have had to be laid slightly diagonally, a big no-no according the installers.
Haha, there are stairs next to the decking, just cant see them in either pic.
It's really just meant to be a play area for our 18month old daughter, the raised patio area is dangerous for obvious reasons; we have a couple of joiners coming round next week to build some fencing around the edge so its less of a death trap.
The turf is just a low maintainace area for the little one to play with all her outdoor toys.

Strong logic.

Stick a scalectrix around the outside
agreed is it really that hard to produce something better these days. All the ones I've seen still look so fake. It's probably the uniform colour, but there's so many ways to add in random colours these days. Or is no company going to risk an expensive product and just make normal Astro turf.

I feel fake grass should be made intentionally to look just that. In fact they could go one step further and make it red.

What tree is that growing out of your planter?Had some landscaping done, artificial turf and a decked area.

Think it could be a rare Polus Telephonicus...

My neighbour replaced their lawn at the back with fake grass. Their kid now plays out the front. Makes no jeffing sense to me.

Well haven't I been roasted today!
I'm sure you're all comedians and landscaping experts
It does look much better in person, and suits the back garden as a whole; the contractor emailed me to tell me that he got a couple of other jobs from folks wanting something very similar after I allowed him to post pics of the finshed job on his facebook page and he offered to come back in a couple of years and re-bead it for free (the stuff they pour on and brush through it to lift the grass back up).

I don't mind the grass, I like astroturf, I just think the overall layout is a bit odd. It looks like it should slide to one side and a Thunderbird should fly out from underneath
