Comment on A quarter of Brits want a ban on fake grass
Hogger85b@kbin.social 11 months agoYep we had a small 3m square patch of paving, we tried turf and it died due to overuse with kids playing and use using it for sitting out, picnics and BBQs. The choice is deck or fake grass and fake grass is cheaper.
We have wildflower border and fake grass currently.

Have you ever thought about walking stones or paving stones and a hardy ground cover? I can’t imagine feeling close to nature on fake grass.

BBQ is on a couple of paving slabs, was love talking about rh social seating and eating But paving slabs are hard, less comfy for play and seating. Also they get very hot in summer (seem to get hotter than the fake grass). I don't see why dead area of stone is any better
Hardy ground cover may work but we have struggled to find any hardy enough to establish.

I was suggesting the mix, where you plant the hardy ground cover in the holes of a paver.
I think it’s the cheap plastic and we know it’s not great for us, kids especially. I guess it’s better than painting your dirt or gravel? tucson.com/…/article_c1e10e28-a044-11e0-8bb2-001c…
