I have seen this stuff used on garden shows in the US for putting greens. It had about two tons of sand on it to keep in in place and to give it a more "natural look". I have never seen any up close and personal. <BR/>Always keep in mind that UT gave up on astroturf (was that in my day before your time???)<BR/>VolMomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15545356.post-1159794041291647002006-10-02T14:00:00.000+01:002006-10-02T14:00:00.000+01:00If you have to ask, "Is this tacky?", I think you ...If you have to ask, "Is this tacky?", I think you already know the answer. Still, I'm a big fan of tacky self expression. That's why I refuse to join the local historic district.

My suggestion fwiw: get rid of the composite and go for york (not that expensive for a small area), with gaps for planting if you like, plus gravel for the less travelled areas. Even if the idea of astroturf wasn't tacky, the actualite disappoints - it gets dirty, fades, SMELLS (sometimes) and generally ends up looking less and less natural as time goes by...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15545356.post-1159728352189002282006-10-01T19:45:00.000+01:002006-10-01T19:45:00.000+01:00The Hater, tacky-pointer-extraordinaire, says that...The Hater, tacky-pointer-extraordinaire, says that an astroturf yard would not be tacky if there was a water ban. He clarifies to say that if it was tacky, it would only be slightly tacky, but not as tacky as banning water to keep a pretty yard.genderisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912659921617079386noreply@blogger.com
