I had a yard with an Oak tree and it is totally concealed. Nothing would grow. The roots were on the surface making it unusable. I did inquire about artificial grass and picked the best and most durable turf available. I was apprehensive when I picked this item, my concern was would this look or feel like grass and will my dog use it? At the point when it was delivered, It was great, the grass unrolled like floor covering and installing was easy. My dog uses it and cleanup is very simple. I recommend you to research how to install fake grass outside on YouTube and preparing your area or you would need to consult an expert installer on the off chance that you have a bigger area. I am exceptionally happy with the outcome of this product!
