I wish it still looked that nice! The picture might be 5 years old or more; from before I owned the house. Also, it looks larger from the angle the photo was taken. I estimate it's 500 ft^2.
I've used Scotts WeednFeed twice a year, every year, and I get more and more weeds and clover. Moss also invades the lawn, so I attack with moss killer. This leaves brown patches in the lawn for a while, until new moss can take its place. Since this is south-facing, it's just about completely brown this time of year.
The only way I'll be convinced that real grass is better is to see evidence of how it can look decent while costing less over 20 years to maintain.\
It's probably a moot point though. The fiance doesn't like the idea of artificial turf, but she did say it looked very convincing. I've probably got 10 days to get it put in, or loose my chance forever.
