My location isn't suitable for a garden for reasons pointed out by xyz. Besides, a garden is even more cost and effort, and my whole reason for wanting artificial turf was to reduce effort. It's easier and cheaper to buy produce in the store anyhow. I'll save gardening for retirement unless I follow through on my sailboating the world idea.

From what I've read, artificial lawns require significantly less maintenance. Only occasional sweeping or blowing, and raking is needed.

I might be able to DIY for about $1500, which is sounding better and better to me. The fiance still isn't thrilled by my latest scheme though.
