As for installation, why not DIY. Quite easy if your land is flat. Will save you $$$.

I say use it for small area only. I'm no greenie but lawns and plants are an integral part of our eco cycle and structure and even though I live in Melb where there is no water and it is tempting ( I am building from scratch) I will not go for the synthetic stuff in the end. It's like plastic vs real Christmas tree and the real tree from a replanted plantation always is better for the environment in the end. When I walk past my neighbours house on a hot day,( mind you he does have water holding tanks) it feels so cool due to the amount of greenery and shade. All the cats in the street hang out there on hot days. I know, I got excited when this stuff came out too but after much education and evaluation, I'm sticking to lawn. This is not supposed to put you off, just think about it.

Not a fan of it at all.

If only you knew what was used to produce your new enviro friendly turf

A hell of a lot of water and chemicals. A really good turf can be easy with great soil prep and the right turf choice. A real lawn can produce massive amounts of oxygen and have the cooling effects on your property of many air conditioners.

Lawn just shouldn't shine in the sun either.
