Artificial Lawns - Who's Got One? What's The Consensus?
Discussion
I've ordered (and am having installed this Monday) this artificial lawn:
It's the Easigrass Mayfair. I saw it on somebodies front garden and was blown away by it's likeness to real grass. The owner said it was the best £3,000 he'd ever spent.
So, anyone else gone down this route? What do you think? Got pictures?

I mean, it does look fake, but it also looks glorious. Very interested!
Are we allowed to ask how many sq/m and cost?
Up close it's almost impossible to tell, seriously. You can't even 'dig' down to the plastic backing it's so full of fake thatch.Are we allowed to ask how many sq/m and cost?
It cost £3k, they wanted £3.5k but I bartered them down by £500 when they came to measure up and cost it. It was their most expensive product (the Mayfair) and it was at this years Chelsea show I'm told. But I believe you get what you pay for and it'll last 20 years so hey-ho. I've already put my gardening stuff up on the local 'sell-it' website. Wish I'd done this 5 years ago instead of wasting money on a new real lawn which despite my best efforts died in the shady parts within 18 months.
The company is Easigrass and this is the product:

I can't stress this enough, it is stunningly beautiful and looks like I actually know what I'm doing in a garden.

Sorry I didn't address this properly. I can't remember what it worked out at but it was originally £3,500 and the area they had to charge me for was about 55' x 21'. Unfortunately their invoice doesn't specify a sq/m cost as we then 'bartered' down to £3,000. In return I gave up my right to any off-cuts which, as you can see, in places would be considerable. I still got a couple of big off-cuts handed to me anyway.

So it's about £3 a sq ft then, £2.60 with some bargaining. Does like good, have to admit. What does it feel like though? On a hot day going out into the garden and laying on the cool grass with a cold beer is a nice feeling. Not sure you'd get the same effect with that; in fact with it being plastic it'd probably burn your arse?Unfortunately their invoice doesn't specify a sq/m cost as we then 'bartered' down to £3,000.
How do you clean bird st and muck off it? Do you have to pressure wash it or something?
