Artificial grass - experiences?

[mk2driver]

We are thinking of replacing the awful grass on our house which we bought last September with artificial grass

Neither of us are keen gardeners. We have 2 cats and likely to have kids in the near future.

In total would have around 80m2 area - 50 out the back and around 30 out the front (divided by the path to the front door)

So the questions

Does anybody have it? Good/bad points about it? Costs? How has it faired in terms of wear? Would you do it again given the choice?

Thanks in advance for the help

The more we have looked into it the more we are going to try and improve the grass we have or relay it

Cutting it was never an issue it was more trying to keep it oooking good which I know requires more than just mowing
