This was the 1st "astroturf" lawn my garden chap had ever fitted - and it went down like a dream! We get lots of praise for the way it looks and acts and many of my wife's customers (she grooms dogs) have installed a similar lawn since! One little drawback - if you have lots of dogs they do pee on the lawn (that is what it's there for) but in the warm dry weather it starts to pong a bit so we found a product called Pet Whiff Off which we apply once a fortnight and it keeps the pong at bay. Now it has rained a few times the problem has disappeared and yes, I did water the lawn regularly in hot weather which is why I only needed to add the pong remover once a fortnight - it would have been every 4 or 5 days otherwise! But we love the lawn to bits!
