We chose to purchase artificial grass turf because the value, convenience, and quality were so worth it. We have just a little area of grass so we really don't need to call for somebody to come and keep up and require some maintaining. My wife experiences grass allergies so every grass cutting or weed clean up would keep her sick for a considerable length of time also we don't know why and where flowers were showing up which makes her visits the specialist's office often. Additionally, it occupies our valuable time to accomplish work in mowing and maintaining the lawn. This product does works for our family and this is a great investment since it is expected to last long. We really have a peace of mind in less yard work and clean yard for a decade or so. Highly recommend!
