Artificial lawn

we are thinking of having artificial lawn laid in our garden instead of natural. since the weather has been very wet this winter the dogs have totally destroyed our lawn so we need a solution!
Iv been emailing lots of companies for quotes tonight so will hopefully have some answers soon.

Has anyone else had any experience of artificial lawns??

I've seen it in other people's gardens when i've been to these 'open garden' days and it looked quite nice - will see if i've got any pictures of it.

One of my friends has a bit in her garden. If she hadn't told me it was artificial I wouldn't have known.
