I lived where we are required to conserve water which left many yards looking drab. So my husband and I decided to install artificial grass. It took the installer to finish the whole installation in less than 6 hours! It's very close to real grass! My kids love it so much! The softness and the smell of real grass are some aspects to miss but most importantly we saved a lot of money on water bills since it's low maintenance and no need to water every day! This makes artificial grass a very wise investment!
