Better than real grass! I got rid of my grass due to periodic water restrictions. Since then, I’ve come to enjoy not having to water, mow, and care for the grass. However, the loss of green ground covering did reduce the house’s curb appeal. This artificial grass has restored the appearance while keeping the yard maintenance-free. The grass blades are a bit matted when initially unrolled but are easily fluffed by hand. The different colors used for the grass blades make it look as real as you can get. I’ve been using standard green-colored indoor/outdoor grass carpet rugs for holiday displays to keep items (especially inflatables) off the ground. This artificial grass will do an even better job by appearing as real grass. It's very high quality and can instantly turn any area into a lush, healthy-looking lawn.
