My friend has artificial grass and it looks awful i don’t see the appeal, mowing a lawn isnt that much work its like 20minutes each month in summer

I’m not a snob about many things, but I will always look down on people who do this to their turfs. Absolutely unjustifiable.

Only 18 meters? Not that bad I suppose, thought it’d be in the millions.

New installations of this stuff need banned. Enough enough.

Should be illegal outside of sports pitches. Increased flood risk and looks SHIT

What says “I am a chav” without actually saying it?

Sounds a lot, but about half the size of Luton. I’d be okay with Astro Turfing it.

Most of the comments on here are about ‘convenience’ or it ‘looks nice’. The real concern with it is that artificial grass is bad for the environment due to the manufacturing process, microplastic shredding and has a negative effect on ecosystems. Its production relies on fossil fuels, it creates microplastics that pollute waterways, and it prevents rainwater from reaching the soil, harming soil health and wildlife that would otherwise use real grass for food and habitat. In summer, it gets extremely hot and kills insects, that are already on the decline. Insects are a vital food source to certain animals, and some are essential for pollination.
Also, it’s tacky AF…………..

It’s disgusting stuff. Environmentally and aesthetically.

My grass looks like shit at the moment and yet it still looks a million times better than next doors artificial shite

Laughing at all the shots fired at the fake plastic shite. It you want something that requires less mowing and maintenance than grass get a clover lawn. Doesn’t grow as high and great for the bees!

One of my favourite things while walking the dog is to laugh at the crappy fake faded grass that’s got weeds growing in/through it.
You spent all that money on your maintenance free green outside carpet and you still get weeds. Honestly, I couldn’t be more happy for you.

I’d rather they went around fining people for having this than tipping coffee down a drain.

Fuckin hell, people really hate fake grass don’t they?! I’m not a fan, but I also don’t have a raging hard on against it…

I hate artificial grass. I have a pond, so my garden is always full of little frogs and bugs. I love having these little critters in my garden. Also flowers for the bees!

Hate the stuff. Microplastics seeping into the ground, makes gardens ecological wastelands, gets to a million degrees in the heat and if they’ve got pets, the stuff fucking stinks from animals going to the toilet on it.
Maybe it’s a sign of my age, but since I moved to where I am now, I absolutely love having a real grass lawn and caring for it/striving to improve it

I have a tiny garden, full of birds and the hedgehogs are still visiting. Saw one last night.
People with artificial grass must really hate the natural world.

The previous owners astroturfed our garden. We were going to take it out as soon as we moved in but then we had a house fire and lost our jobs, so that moved way down on the priority list!

If you have the time to invest into a green lawn with mowed stripes and perfect borders, well done, you are likely retired 😂 some of us just want nice looking gardens with no hassle, obviously, as there is so much of it according to the source.

It needs to be made illegal and removed like asbestos…

It’s more amusing people telling me it’s low maintenance and then you see them hovering it

The convenience trumps the ascetics. It can look good if done right and I hate weeding and back garden work

If I was in charge, this would be an offence that leads people to the gulag.
