Artificial Grass Lawn Astro Turf

I have recently removed the old artificial, synthetic grass to our balcony on our apartment and laid down fresh new Astro Turf. I realise this is probably something we are more accustomed to on a soccer pitch, but where we live we have no garden area and we have to resort to a small balcony of approximately 5’ x 3’. The old turf was beginning to look ragged around the edges and drainage had been a problem due to the heavy rains we have been experiencing here lately and it was looking rather old and tired.

I sourced some new turf online and paid £55 for the size I needed. It came ready rolled and looked much newer and a lot greener than the old turf did as I guess it has not been bleached by the rays of the sun.

The turf is easy to lay and cut and did not need to be professionally installed, as I was able to easily do this myself. The result is a good-looking green balcony again with no ragged edges for the children to trip over. It takes a good substitute for the real thing and I know from personal experience that this stuff is real hard wearing and even despite a lot of trampling the grass stands upright and does not wear out or lay flat.

I do feel it looks realistic enough to be passed off as real garden grass and until the day arrives when we move to a house with a traditional garden, then I guess this will suffice. We are all delighted with the look and feel and the quality and I really recommend it for small patches or areas where it’s not possible to grow grass but you would like some greenery.
