artificial grass

mntman · Jul 8, 2014

Any of you have it?
Do you like it, hate it, installed on your own?
I like grass but sick of the watering, maintenance and looking at installing it in the front yard first to see how it comes out. The purchase price would be around $2500 for me depending on type.
Would you do it again?

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?

It's called "artificial cannabinoid" that you very much. And I like it.

I had two bids for the front yard. The first was $25,000 the second was $21,000 my front yard is only 1500 sq. feet. I think I will keep watering.....

nope not missing any zero's. That is just the price for me to purchase the turf and do it myself.
I would not pay 8-15k or more for someone else to do it. That is 2 moose hunts and a caribou hunt nearly in AK for me...

You'll need a nice vacuum cleaner!

Try some Blue Grama or Buffalo grass for lower maintenance and water use. They aren't barefoot friendly but I like mine (1/3 acre) Mow it once a month, water it 6 times a year.

River rock, $40/yard. All the big rocks are rocks that I picked up on various hunts, form Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Wyoming, Utah, and California. Kind of my trophy room

How much you have to cough up for the little pig on the mound?

That was a garage sale find. I think $5 I had to paint it though

No worries, its entertaining watching grown men talk about pet pigs made of ceramic

If this goes down the path of clubhouse members having pet pigs I will have to put in a request of it getting nuked then...

I have a section about 16' by 25' that I keep my dog in. I installed it myself. It is very easy to do. I love it for the dog pen. He can't dig it up, no mud at any time of the year, I have not had to wash his paws before letting him in the house, poop cleans up very easily. The only issue is you do need to clean it off with a vinegar solution every few months to cut the pee smell down. Use a decent base of sand and it will drain better. No other maintenance required. If I remember correctly it cost around $2000 - $2500.

That being said I would not use it for my main lawn. I like grass and the work that goes into keeping it. The fake stuff still looks fake regardless of how much you spend.

I say go for it! Year-round putting green.
