Is this product realistic enough and fade proof enough be used as a synthetic substitution for turf in a landscape?

product is well made. still very green. looks like a turf. doesn't look like grass. so isn't something I would use for landscaping per say. I use is over cement as an outdoor carpet looks nice for that.

No, it is not realistic enough. The picture looks much better than the actual product.

It is not realistic enough and I do not know if it will drain properly for that application. I used these rugs on an outdoor deck.

My son has a football themed bedroom and I have it on his floor, as a "field." Looks great and realistic. Since it is inside, I can't comment on the fade aspect.

We purchased this late spring 2012. It has not faded. Our dogs use it, well, lets just say we have it at the end of the our dog run. We've bleached it to clean it a few times. Its more like golf turf, it has a very short turf. Its worth the money!

Definitely! I purchased the yard turf for thatching but surprising it does more than thatch. It's a good investment.

well, Ive never used it for permanent outdoor projects, but my guess is that it would hold up. It cures to be as hard as resin, much tougher than a polymer clay.

Even though toxic plastic is a serious concern, I'd imagine that with the minimal use and outdoor exposure kind of balance it out. Then again, does one want to invest in such a product? I'm not sure...

As mentioned in previous comments/answers: Yes. "no damage whatsoever. We use it on our artificial turf that we installed for a dog relief area because we have no grass. It performs well, we spray once a month and it's lasts 2-3 months. No pet odor and the turf looks like new."

I also have fake grass with 3 dogs, it works well. Very easy to use. During dry summer periods we have to use it about twice a week.

Synthetic materials are A-OK. Just don't use this on natural fibers of any sort.

I bought our own turf. I prefer a softer surface, and likely the "fat" shots may be a bit masked, but I would rather save my joints from impact and the net return is an awesome way to practice at home. I use it daily.

Grass is okay as long as it is relatively flat. We have taken it on the infield of a damp tball field. It was fine there. I don't think it would do well in significant mud.

It's real, living grass. It's designed to work like grass works outside. Here are a few links that might better describe it for you. http://www.freshpatch.com/faqs and http://www.freshpatch.com/instructions-2. Hope this helps.

yes- its enough sufactent for several applications- my lawn is just a half acre. you will need to buy more surfactant at a nursery

There is no reason to use this product outside. It's for indoor growing so it wouldn't make sense to put it outside. If you are asking if this product is durable enough to be put outside, I would have to say no for a longterm answer. It would probably get blown over, wet, and ruin the product. Can be used in a garage, house, barn, etc..

this is made out of synthetic fabric of relatively good construction that should withstand reasonable outdoor conditions. however, subjecting it to excessive winds, or wet freezing conditions will tear it apart just like everything else left outside. I would caution you that this type of fabric is not resistant to fading.

Yes and not sure why. It makes it ugly in your garden. Good product and after a few weeks it's not as noticeable.

Probably so. You would have to spot test it. I do have some bermudagrass that has invaded some of my liriope borders. I was going to do a test to see if it would kill that or not. Overall product is working great after 2 applications. The woody part of the Bermuda grass is an off green color but the grass blades are all brown now.

The packaging states that the product is for use in container gardens or hydrogardening applications. My belief is that this is because the product changes the Ph of the water or soil to which it is added. If I add much of this to a hydro reservoir, I must then adjust the Ph and this might be challenging if we are talking about the soil in your yard. If Ph isn't a concern, I would think this product would be safe to use on outside ornamentals.

No. It's slower to break down and release nutrients than the synthetic stuff. I will not burn your grass.
