Hey,
Anyone had any experience with instant lawns. We need a lawn quick smart because my dog is coming to live with me in 7 weeks and we have no lawn. Are there ones that cope better with dog pee??

Once dry, I suppose you can mix it in your garden beds.

Nothing beats the natural feel or the smell after cutting of living grass. I reckon that if you don't have the time or inclination to maintain a lawn then you should look for a natural alternative.

Seriously - a nice lawn can be a great thing to have - but a good lawn needs care and attention, which means work. Lawns are very traditional solutions from an era when family life took place in a big garden, watering restrictions were unheard of and everyone thought that suburban bliss was a couple of oleander bushes, a hills hoist and a two stroke lawnmower. In this era we have a lot more access to alternative gardening methods and materials which in turn enable us to create a more diverse range of planting solutions.
