RIP Lawnmower, Hello Artificial Grass

[Delvis]

Like the slabs etc (they like what Ive purchased)

Shane about the lawn but people have their reasons, hope you enjoy it all

I thought you was a bit of an environmentalist as well?

Perhaps in some ways, not lawns or gardening though, cant be arsed with it.

Sheds not that old, just needs a paint and the fences are a bit random, half of the panels blew down so different colours. Other side is falling down but lady next door is ancient and dont want to hassle her too much.

Looks Brilliant. I could not afford the artificial grass so I'm in the process of redoing the grass from Scratch. Pain in the butt tbh.

very good , not a fan of artificial grass ,but daughters new house has it apparently its the in thing for house builders personally i would have just concreted it think of the parking spaces

Did our small garden a couple of months ago with artificial grass, so much better than having to mow the bloody lawn all the time.

Nice makeover!
I once had a patch of artificial grass and it was the worst thing I ever did. Only positive is that it stayed green. But the dirt and cleaning make it not worth having.

Exactly, plastic grass should be banned IMO. Dreadful idea for a home, as if we don't have enough plastic to deal with in the world already. I guess it just comes down to people putting convenience and looks above the environment which we've all been guilty of at some point.

But mowing the lawn is too hard for these people?

Yup.

Too right. I have to do it at work so am only doing it at home if I'm paid for it.

Looks very neat and tidy. My folks replaced their tiny lawn with astroturf and it’s 100% been the correct decision for them. Not sure it’s for me, but it looks very smart.

What’s the tree in the middle at the back - looks like a massive olive?

Yeah its an olive tree, planted it from a small pot when we moved here about 10 years ago, was about 1m high! Needs a trim.

Each to their own, not my cup of tea. Paving is nice though

Looks brilliant! Very unusual to have such a large tree in the ground in the UK.

 

[Josh]

its look stupid

Hi irony, my name is Slade2.

Look at that beautiful plastic desert! Lovely stuff for fans of microplastic and fermenting pigeon poo because there's no worms to eat it. #Yummo

I assume all the ecowarriors complaining about it have wildflower meadows instead of a lawn - given that an English type short cut grass lawn is pretty hopeless for nature as well.
