Has anyone had artificial grass laid locally to Camposol, it is something I know little about, I have researched it a little bit, if there is someone out there and you are happpy with what you had done, would it be possible for me to look at it please, we will be moving over soon and have a big dog, so I want to protect her paws, would help me out no end, I will be around next week if someone can help

Cheers

Steve

We had grass put down then changed to tiles due to the dogs peeing. Be careful as the grass like tiles gets roasting and to hot for them

Hi, I have had astro turf fitted over a big area unfortunately not on camposol so not close enough for you to take a look, but I had it fitted on soil and membrane and our dog loves it, it isn't hot underfoot at all

certain types retain heat more, but i use carpet underlay foam  , gives it bouncy feel, dries out quick, does not rot, stops weeds ,if on tiles, use velcro ,on soil  pin it. kids luv it.

I have heard that if dogs pee on it it goes through onto the underlay & stinks.

I think there is an astro turf deodoriser for sale on the internet believe it or not.

Might be worth a look at the link below

Artificial Grass

So not all as good as it may seem.

Plus you need a decent vacuum cleaner instead of a lawn mower !!!

I am thinking about getting Astro Turf beside my Pool, also have a dog, not sure about it.  Could I see your Astro Turf, if possible.  I live in Valle del Sol and often in Balsicas.  Thank you
