Yeah we figured it's gonna cost us a lot, but the lifetime guarantee totally makes it worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825702 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:35:50 +0000 RLCeigh 825702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cottoncandy and @chopsuey119: well we got the yard redone (some concrete, raised garden beds, rain water containers) so the total cost was an investment:) I think the grass part including everything was $5,000 but it is guarenteed for life. It's costly but we are taking stay- cations this summer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825700 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:35:00 +0000 photojane 825700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I would be all about that stuff! I definitely want a yard for the pup and Sadie to play, but we hate yard work. After working all week who wants to spend all weekend on their hands in knees in the yard?! We even pay someone to cut the grass, because cutting the grass SUCKS. I want some xgrass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825683 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:23:41 +0000 chopsuey 825683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CottonCandy: I have no idea! We havent Started building yet and havent asked for a quote. The first time I saw it I totally thought it was real grass. Even after touching it I wasn't 100% sure it was fake :D </p> <p>@RLCeigh: do you mind telling us how much it cost..? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825664 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:12:27 +0000 CottonCandy 825664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: If you don't mind me asking...How much does that stuff cost?? It looks awesome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825570 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 19:14:37 +0000 MapleMoose 825570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents put out the fake grass in front of their camper when they go camping. I need the real stuff at my house. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825547 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 19:02:19 +0000 Maysprout 825547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a lot of that stuff on porches around here, I prefer real. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825535 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 18:56:35 +0000 chopsuey 825535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RLCeigh: Glad to hear you love it!! We live in the city right now and so many places have Xgrass! Love how it looks and feels, and it's so low maintenance! Esp love how it drains water so quickly. :D<br /> Hoping we'll have less bugs and little gnats flying around too..! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825521 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 18:43:11 +0000 RLCeigh 825521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119-- oh my goodness, we just got Xgrass in the spring and we LOVE it!!! We live in the city but have a yard-- due to the soil and shade it was tough to grow real grass.<br /> It looks so real and even feels real but no grass stains or mowing or patches dying (we also have a doggie). I think when people think of fake grass they are thinking of astro-turf and this is so different. Def. a splurge, but so far we are sooooo happy with it and love spending so much time outside.<br /> Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825496 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 18:19:57 +0000 matador84 825496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>real! we have bermuda and kentucky bluegrass and it is great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825473 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 17:58:32 +0000 blackbird 825473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends if I have to take care of it or not lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825455 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 17:39:47 +0000 Reese 825455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Real. A friend of ours owns a business similar to this. He offered us an amazing deal but there is no way I could do it. As much as a pain in the ass it is to water, seed, fertilize, weed, etc.. It's my pain in the ass and I wouldn't have it any other way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825441 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 17:23:05 +0000 Andrea 825441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never knew that you could get that for an entire yard. I guess why not? Just wondering if it gets nasty after awhile? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825426 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 17:07:36 +0000 MediaNaranja 825426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Real for me. I love the smell, I love seeing rabbits in my yard, and I love the feel of morning dew on my toes! Plus it seems like the fake stuff would just get kind of gross and dirty and could start growing some nasty stuff if you aren't meticulous about taking care of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825422 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 17:04:39 +0000 lemondrop 825422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My neighbors have fake in their front yard and it looks really nice! It does crack me up to see him vacuum his yard though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825415 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 17:00:37 +0000 SugarplumsMom 825415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that stuff looks great! I've only seen the ugly cheap looking stuff. Some of those pictures, I wouldn't even question that it's not real! But I'd want the flexibility to move things around in the yard and DH looooooves grass. He's kind of obessesed with it! It would be his nightmare if someone replaced it. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825377 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 16:22:10 +0000 swedishfish 825377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Real, real, real. My sisters have had too many instances of turf toe from playing field hockey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825365 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 16:02:03 +0000 Smurfette 825365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Real! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825349 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 15:43:33 +0000 loveisstrange 825349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Real, all the way. Childhood indoor soccer gave me an intense dislike for fake grass and astroturf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825344 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 15:34:36 +0000 mamabolt 825344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no idea people even put the fake stuff in yards! We have real, don't think I'd ever consider otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825307 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 15:01:38 +0000 Lindsay05 825307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love real grass! I even enjoy cutting it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825301 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 14:58:01 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 825301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend of mine put the fake stuff in his backyard. There was enough brown it looked real. He has two dogs that loved playing in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825267 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 14:31:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 825267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting road rash from your grass isn't the typical childhood experience ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825256 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 14:24:31 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 825256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the idea of never having to mow or worry about tracking in grass but I love the smell of a fresh cut lawn, and the feeling of grass on my bare feet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/real-or-fake-grass#post-825245 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 14:08:51 +0000 chopsuey 825245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Which do you prefer?<br /> HAHA.<br /> DH and I like the fake stuff!
