Can understand it fills in the green untill it grows, but surely theree better ways to screen untill then. If a complete block out is needed, I'd go a rock wall, even a rock cladding, or buy established plants! I do know someone who is planning on putting a fake grass rug into their garage! It will double as a summer room, so I like that. Walls? There might be a reason you don't see this often :)

Hi everyone, I know you have laid your turf now, but for others in a similar situation, I have found that 'Paspalum vaginatum' is a fantastic alternative to the buffalo and Couch varieties. Its non invasive, very shallow root systems and takes shade and full sun. As its is highly salt tolerant, its a great cost effective alternative around swimming pools and helps keep the temperature down around the pool, so kids can run around with bare fee. It looks fantastic in summer, doesnt get woody and looks pretty good throughout the winter months. Although I have no experience with fake turf I have heard that it can get very hot and smelly, making it difficult to enjoy for little feet during the hot summer months. Hope this helps :-)

This website might help. I'm in WA, we have a few businesses here that have a yard with turf laid out for viewing. Google artificial grass display. Also this site may help http://www.ozturf.com.au

Are you sure of your assertion that water flows well through artificial turf? I would think it doesn’t but happy to hear otherwise. You’d probably need a statement from the supplier as to what installation instructions are.
