Hi ladyrob1, ours are over a concrete patio slab that was tiled - it's a1970s villa. So they have been pretty much just plonked down over the patio tiles, but timber border has been put around the edges. We've only just bought and have no historical information about what was done and when, but the patio/deck is exposed to easterly sun and is looking pretty weathered - but I'd say it hasn't been maintained at all since it was installed. I like the look of it, and think if it's regularly oiled from new, it will probably stand up well to weather.

While synthetic grass often gets a bad wrap, we have to say that when applied correctly, quality astro turf can be the perfect solution for your backyard. It is a good choice for those who want less maintenance than regular grass, with plenty of options to cater for pets and the style of your garden. A quality turf looks great year-round without the frustrating upkeep, making it a realistic alternative to a natural lawn.
