    Thank you - my friend has NoMow and I like hers, although hers is the slightly shorter one and from the samples I prefer the slightly longer (and unfortunately more expensive) one!

    I am going to ring them on Tuesday and ask if I can go and see a garden with the same grass that I want - I want to see it in person before I spend all that money!

    Sun cream stays on it (March weather!) It comes off with water. I sweep ours when leaves, blossom lands on it. My mindees like to brush it too.

    Is it sad that this post excites me?!

    When ofsted registered me I asked for them to do it on the basis the back garden wasnt to be used. I decided this because the fence on both sides was drooping inwards and the concrete path was crumbling and falling apart from the snow. I knew they would quite possibly refuse me to start work without doing the work and as we couldnt afford it at the time, cutting the garden off until it was ready was the best option!

    Finally after saving we are getting the whole thing done at the end of the month, including artifical grass and I am mega excited!!! We've lived here 5 years at the end of the month and the back garden has been embarrassing since the day we moved in it will be so nice to finally allow our 19month boy out to play as well as the mindees! (I've even picked up an immaculate condition slide from ***** this weekend for £15! bit premature I know but I couldnt resist!) lol x

    I've never thought about artificial grass before reading these posts today and now I'm desperate for some! We have a play area which in parts is quite shady. The grass is so patchy and boggy so this sounds like a brilliant solution.

    Thanks guys! Just got to persuade hubby now who conveiniently happens to be a gardener
