Pictures of our back yard makeover

[Katiej]

Looks great JD! All those hours you spent preparing for it were certainly worth it. I'm sure the maintenance will be much easier than having the real lawn. I love how your GS hops in all the photos - too cute!

[JulieO]

I love it too Judy.  Looks real.

Looks great Judy!!!!

Looks great Judy. Would be great for us being on tank water here, would save heaps.
Not too sure if my 4 legged lawn mowers would like it though...can see my boys (horses) trying to munch on it after they have "snuck quietly" around the corner onto the lawn. They think they are being tricky - but 2 horses don't sneak quietly anywhere!
Hmph - would need more than a leaf blower after they have left their mark in disgust when they realise they can't eat it!!

Brilliant transformation JD and so low maintenance,I love it. Like the photos of your house as well,it's lovely to see other people's homes

Wow Jd what a difference... It looks great and real from the photos .., im a sucker for real grass but never get it lOoking as good as that.. Can imagine it must be nice to have lOvely looking lawns without all the maintenance with every thing you have on your plate ... Stunning transformation Jd!!

I would also be interested to know how it feels under bare feet etc...

[judydawn]

Would you believe I hadn't actually tried it so just for you Kim, I've been outside in the dark road testing them both barefooted. The back one is really soft underfoot, it is so lovely to walk on and the front one is slightly 'crunchy' but still nice to walk on.  However, when it gets hot I don't believe you can run around on it with bare feet as it does get rather hot I am told - I am not a bare foot person so that doesn't worry me and the kids usually have their shoes on too.

It looks great JD ! Love the fact it is almost no maintenance. Thanks for sharing the pics!

WOW  JD.  That looks fabulous.  Congratulations on a succesful and practical makeover.
DH's Aunt in Adelaide had the same done and just such a good idea.
No mow and just a whip over with the leaf blower when needed.

I told DH I wanted it when we lived in Adelaide but we ended up just covering the whole yard in mulch about 30cm deep.  And then planted what we wanted in that.

What a difference it makes, and no maintenance, added bonus, thanks for sharing your photos, you GS is cute too.

Lol Judy the things you do for us, like walking bare foot on fake grass and drawing on your fridge with a white board marker

[Frozzie]

Hrrmm might have to check if it exists over here but we have two dogs so they would probably rip it up lol..especially the younger one..really does look good jd and wouldnt be worried about heat here pffft we habe about two weeks max of limit hot weather a year..booo hooo i miss aussie weather ((

[Very Happy Jan]

Looks fantastic JD. DH & I are considering replacing our small patch of back lawn with fake. He is sick of fighting the weeds and lawn beetles

  Looks fantastic JD, and your house too.
Great for low maintenance, and no more mowing.
