Grass, gravel, or fake grass?

7 år siden

We are in the process of landscaping our back yard. There is an area that will be about 10 x 20 ft. separate from patio hardscape and a more woodsy area. I am wondering people's thoughts on whether to use pea gravel, fake grass, or some kind of grass that doesn't need mowing, for a little sitting area, maybe put in a firepit or something. My landscaper says fake grass is great but looks terrible in the winter when everything else is not green (we're in Utah). Would love to hear your views. House and landscape is traditional.

I don't know if you can have a firepit in proximity to the artificial turf. No mow lawns get kind of bumpy. It might not be the best for a sitting area. If you are unable to mow lawn then go for the artificial. The only thing keeping me from doing it is cost. I was looking at some just last night. It is yellowish at the roots, just like real grass. It felt soft. You do not have to get the darkest green, it comes in variations.

Pea gravel or flagstone, both are very nice.

We are partial to the artificial turf.

We have all of the things you mentioned and all great!

Im especially fond of pavers and flagstones with either 1) river rock, 2) dymondia or thyme, or 3) artificial turf in between the pavers/flagstones.

Also the no mow grass we have used is buffalo grass and mondo grass. Our buffalo grass goes dormant in the winter and needs sun.

Fake grass sounds really terrible to me. Whatever you do, make it real not fake. Pea gravel can be problematic because it gets kicked around easily and drifts when it rains. Low maintenance plantings like some have suggested would be great.

Definitely get artificial grass! If you get good quality turf, it looks very authentic, you can choose the right tone of green you think is right for all year round and it looks immaculate with so little effort! We went with Maze Grass and couldn't be happier with their service and effort!
