I purchased this item to put around my pool deck. What I preferred about this artificial grass is that I had the option to handily slice the pieces to the shape I want with box cutters and a big scissors for the finishing touches. I truly enjoyed how much gentler it was compared with some of the other stuff out there. It looks genuine in the sun, strolling barefoot on the grass and truly comfortable. I have a couple of dogs, so I without a doubt needed something they could appreciate year-round. You can't beat the quality at the cost of this thing. Easy to install and a decent look, nice and comfortable. The grass looks excellent in my pool deck and my dogs are loving it as well. Certainly an extraordinary purchase!!
