Totally agree. My house (we bought it last year) is just concrete. THis is on a 755SQM block of land here so I have a veggie patch/herb garden, huge mango, citrus trees BUT the rest is cement. I really dont like DD running around in the back yard hence why I wanted artificial lawn (which I am put off by it now) but is there a lawn that is environmentally friend?

PS, i dont intend to fertilise nor water it often.
I think the wider the blade the less you have to water it in order for it to stay nice. Thin grass can get all crunchy and *****ly in hot whether, and is horrid to sit on.
