This should be a branch off of the "What Did You Do Today" thread where a popular sub-topic is Home Improvement stories and advice. Honestly many of the regulars here seem like "Wilson" from the show...but rather than talk about family problems... let's keep it home improvement stuff I am seriously contemplating artificial lawns ; mainly because of cost of watering and want of a better turf for practicing soccer and golf. Prior to COvid, we had a professional landscaper manage our yards for about 3 years and honestly, the lawn never looked even halfway decent or full. This guy tried bringing in sod, fertilizers, etc and we still bad bad patches..so w'/ Covid we stopped all active care and now the lawns is mostly patches of grass and dirt.. After my searching I found some decent overall info but little progress over finding an actual contractor. Also pricing is every where from DIY $100s to pro install $5k+. I estimate about 1000 sq ft of lawn space between my front and back lawns. I would appreciate any BPers advise and shared stories.
