Artificial grass?
« on: May 10, 2014, 09:21:35 AM »
Am still in UK, but went to Homebase yesterday and saw some very realistic, and pretty impressive, artificial grass. Not what I'd expect to be interested in normally, but am having some trouble with my Turkish grass. It's been re-seeded over the winter, so hoping for an improvement now, but was just wondering about any availability around Fethiye. I see someone posted about it a number of years ago, but not in much detail.
Anyone know if itis available in the area, and whether it looks at all decent? (Rough costs?) Could be a solution to all the watering, but poor appearance of what I had last year, anyway!
Many thanks.

We got all the grass taken up and plastic sheeting put down and got stone chippings laid down with just some planting at various places of shrubs.   It's much better than having grass IMO.
No idea about plastic grass, but I know it's expensive over in the U.K.

When the Queen visits the area, the grass en route is spray painted green by the council.
Fact!

I  tried the slabbing and painting it green method but it buggered up the lawn mower.

One downside to plastic grass is that it is easy to steal, really.       ;)

Pretty sure I have seen this at the big hardware shop on the right hand side  at the traffic lights on the way into Fethiye . The big roundabout where the Dolmus turns right for Fethiye and the main Otogar is straight across.

We bought our piece from Park Yapi market in Calis (near Sunday market) about 3 years ago but cant remember the cost. Its great because you just brush it. We gave up with real grass after the ants had marched away with the grass seed three times in as many months.
