Thanks for replies, looks like £60 per sq metre for the whole job.
60 quid?! How much of that is installation?
I came here today to make a similar thread, but while we're already discussing it... I got a pack of 6 samples from an online site a mate used. They range from £12/sqm for the crap stuff, up to £22 for the real nice stuff.
I have to say, the £22 stuff looks really damn good. I only need 37m² but that's still 800 quid on its own... I'll be fitting it myself!
My reason is that when we moved here, the garden was already knackered from previous owners having a bitch - and I have one too, so now it looks like something from Mad Max. I figure if I strip all the existing turf out, bang a membrane down, sand on top, then the artificial grass, it should minimise issues of pee smells. I have a pressure washer so I guess a wash a couple of times a year would keep on top of it...? Can't be worse than it is now.
Pro tip to anyone looking to get a canine: get one with a knob. We have a boy and a girl; the boy was with us 3yrs before the bird, and our old garden was mint.
Ultimately I'd avoid going for the mega cheap stuff as it really does look like cack (unless you're not fussed, in which case crack on).
Man, the thirties are a weird age. 10 years ago I spent my money on vinyl and soft drugs. These days I'm stressing over fake grass and the Clematis being late this year.
