@tarasuazo3984 My point is that everybody's jumping all over this girl about the choices she made in her backyard. Instead, offer her a different solution to the plastic turf. Maybe they can tell her about low-lying grass or slow growing grasses.
@DoubleDSheree houses don't have heat? Car tires? There are so many other things that destroy the environment besides a piece of fake turf. Aka football stadiums. Way bigger than what she placed down. Everyone is jumping on her happiness with negative comments. Maybe offer her a different idea like. Slow growing grasses.
Nonnative lawns are way worse for the environment. That’s why California is such a fire stricken hellhole right now is all the fancy lawns and stupid almond orchards. All those nonnative plants suck up all the water and make the wilderness way more dry than it should be and then what should be a small needed natural fire turns into a massive destructive wildfire that destroys thousands of acres. These turf lawns are perfect for a fair number of states.
@@carportmodsProblem is people are doing things like this along with thousands if other idiotic things. Everyone thinks oh this one thing that only im doing is fine. Or they think they are only one person and their dont matter. Well they do when everyone thinks that.
The lazy people ways of doing gardening. I'm so glad there are people who actually love gardening. Because you could have had and even more beautiful yard just by rolling up your sleeves and putting in the work Because the old garden could have been reallymagical. . This is for peope who want instant gratification. I don't like the process sometimes however when I repaired my lawn and did my own landscaping using environment friendly Products. This is fine for those who don't have the time nor enjoy the upkeep. Or those aren't physically able to put in the work.
i’d recommend clover, or doing some looking at your local native plants and picking out a few cover ones that you like!! stays low and easy to grow without…….. yeah
Everything plastic even the plants in the back. It looks like junk in a year. These stupid tik tokers think fresh oxygen comes from turf and plastic plants smh😅😢😒
I agree .. this sort of plastic turf is so damaging .. destroys habitat, increases surface water run off, ends up in land fill .. just have grass and don’t be so lazy
This is actually really nice for those of us who are disabled and getting older. I can no longer maintain my back yard and it’s gotten far too expensive to continue paying for lawn services. I don’t get a lot of direct sunlight so this is doable.
This is so fucking sad. Imagine having the privilege of being able to afford your own home with a big back yard and putting astro turf over it 😭 stop killing the environment because you dont want to mow holy shit
It’s causing health issues as well, the Italians football association has started ripping up all the Astro turf as they are seeing a raised in health issues amongst their players. It’s plastic, when the heat takes it, it will let of fumes, it’s absorbed into the skin, you will breathe in those same toxic fumes. It’s crazy how people are behaving as if they don’t care
I love your channel, but plastic grass is a no go zone for me. Not good for insects, plants, animals underground, and it also gasses off plastic in the heat.
This looks easy and beautiful to me, I will try this. But thankfully to all the not so pleasant comments 😂, I'll look/research for an environmentally friendly version. Being a single mom, and having a huge yard is taxing on my life😂
Here in Canada I've decided to implement this idea in my backyard, hater can hate she's a genius. Appreciate hardwork please alittle grass removed from earth wont damage the environment 😅
Synthetic turf increases ambient temperature by 10-15 degrees & surface temp up to 200. Natural turf decreases ambient temp by up to 10 degrees. Synthetic turf also gives off carcinogenic vapors when in direct sunlight at 80+ degrees. Putting disgusting plastic in your backyard instead of actual living plants is hilarious and disgusting. It's also terrible for the environment and not sanitary.
Have to know your area's by-laws. In some places turf isnt allowed because of environmental implications. They can make you rip everything up and turn it back to grass.
I build these for a living the green enfill will stain shoes and be super hot in the summer. Use self cooling white sand for the same cost! Looks great tho! :)
Do you have a full length video for this project , I would love to know how you did the pebble walkway ..was this with fabric underneath or otherwise ..thanks
It was in the news that turf may contain PFAS non-stick chemicals and it's being debated as a cause of cancer in athletes (the EPA is about to regulate it in drinking water). You should check with your turf supplier before kids play on it.
Nobody is talking about them weeds that’s coming up from the gravel in 90 days or less … bc we didn’t add a weed barrier to nothing. We just laid the material on raw land. 😅 But, keep on keeping on sis!
I have a rancher style home with a side platform. Porch doesn’t extend too far and recently had one of my 42’ trees fall on my porch. I’m trying to rebuild my front porch and side platform for a semi private area.
The before looked so beautiful, I would have planted David Austin roses, make it in to a cottage garden, but then again I love gardening. Anyway if you like it that’s all that matters, good job.
I’m not going to spread hate. So just going to say that nurturing nature is fun, growing your own plants and food is amazingly rewarding. Gardens shouldn’t be perfect or Insta ready, they should be rich in scents, buzzing with diversity and that indefinable pleasurable connection between you and your natural home. The feel of the earth, the warmth of dappled light zinging through tree canopies, the smell of the grass and flittering beautiful dance of butterflies between flowers cannot be replicated in a factory. This is soul food and fills our human minds with an ancient, instinctive sense of well-being and pleasure. I highly recommend trying gardening with nature, you’ll never go back. Don’t like mowing? No problem, try a mix of thyme plants. Little mowing with easy maintenance, beautiful flowers and smells so good you’ll be napping on the lawn at every opportunity. Sending my best.
That stuff gets so ooo hot tho. I could never. Besides doing yard work is like therapy. I love it even mowing. But yeah that stuff gets soo hot its misery in the summer.
I want to do this, but my house is 2 acres, and there is no way I'm doing a DIY home project. But after seeing your results now, im having 2nd thought, but i also dont wnat to ever mow the lawn
Wish I could show a pic of my ranch style home with an ascending driveway because my porch is short and I want to extend it and I also have a side platform or cement area if you want to call it that. Need to remodel. Childhood home I bought that has never been upgraded since the late 70’s. Ugh 😩
Yeah fake grass “looks” good but it’s the worst product to have in your garden. Firstly, it’s far hotter than real turf. You won’t ever sit on it on a hot sunny day. Secondly, the plastic breaks down into small particles which then run into the soil and eventually washes into creeks, and waterways. If your garden gets enough light then plant real grass. If your garden is heavily shaded and real grass won’t grow, plant it out with plants that like those conditions or pave it. I would never waste my money on fake grass despite how good it looks and it’s low maintenance.
This is my favorite video of yours. I want to do this for my kids to have a clean play area. And need to find a way to keep the dogs out so they don’t poop all over it.
Oh yea so easy. You just need a dump truck filled with special soil, then you need to have room for the dump truck to dump into your yard. Then you need to rent a tiller which many hardware stores don't provide these days. Then you need a shit-ton of time on your hands. So simple.
Pretty sure why her grass was dead af… she must be using Gatorade to irrigate them instead of natural water cuz that’s what she perhaps thinks is what looks nice and colorful to drink

I wonder what the plastic in carpet does to the environment or the laminate floors that everyone loves. 🤔
@janicealley5033 good thing those floors are inside your house instead of outside in nature
@janicealley5033 if they heat up to high Temps sure.

Me too, if it was kept better,looked like she never bothered her hole doing any kind of maintenance on it 😂

Or those aren't physically able to put in the work.
Rest asure: most of us do. Who wants a toxic plastic yard??
Went from biodiverse landscape to plastic temple in a jiff.
That's humanity in a nutshell. 😢
just let her be it's clearly something that makes her happy remember commenting online has a negative environmental impact.
@vampyrohtechnix To bad your opinion doesn't matter. Her yard, her money, her business, your problem!
I'm a little wierd. I liked the " before" a lot more. I'm happy she is happy...but I dont want her any where near my yard!😂

Actually I’m just being mean, Greek people are nice so I’m sorry
@@HamburgerHelperDeathAmerica is trash
@annastamatelou3895 I think most people with a property would say the same.
Turf is definitely NOT the way to go.
i’d recommend clover, or doing some looking at your local native plants and picking out a few cover ones that you like!! stays low and easy to grow without…….. yeah
the only issue is some places won't let you plant native things without permits and other things then make it a conservation area.
Clover is a fantastic idea.
Everything plastic even the plants in the back. It looks like junk in a year. These stupid tik tokers think fresh oxygen comes from turf and plastic plants smh😅😢😒

So stupid 🤦♀️ and it looks horrible too 🤯
small areas of grass produce not even enough oxygen for one person not even noticeable.
I agree .. this sort of plastic turf is so damaging .. destroys habitat, increases surface water run off, ends up in land fill .. just have grass and don’t be so lazy
The plants are real.

Cry some more that will help
And more micro plastics into the environment (yipee)
Just wait a few years 😆. So nasty and filthy and disease absorber ... Yep they will b sorry
It's really tempting
So so many options to keeps actual plantlife even with low maintenance and little watering. Even while having a lovely seating area.
I love your channel, but plastic grass is a no go zone for me. Not good for insects, plants, animals underground, and it also gasses off plastic in the heat.
lol so you want insects?
Do you want cancer?
@@MaximusTheChosenOne our entire ecosystem would collapse if it weren't for insects. Bugs are awesome.
@@esme9655 and she may collapse if she has too much grass to cut....who will you choose?
@Carrots.love.tomatoes Not good for her, that is why she chose the turf. Who are you gonna choose, her or the insects?
so sad...it looks as plastic as it is :(
My brother rents a house that has this, the fake grass looks worse and worse each year
Mine has held up for 5 years, LOVE IT!

Looks nice , your space and your place, so do what makes you happy
Cute I'm removing my grass too never have to mow again but I'm replacing with pavers and rocks
I hate my yard. I would do the rocks and pavers too if I could.
You're in love with this. I'm in love with you. I'm speechless.
Have to know your area's by-laws. In some places turf isnt allowed because of environmental implications. They can make you rip everything up and turn it back to grass.
I'm sure that the entire ecosystem that exists in a lawn, would just absolutely love this .
I'll take yellow grass with pee spots all over EVERY TIME over plastic turf and rocks 😣
you could have purchased the property from her
Tacky
I build these for a living the green enfill will stain shoes and be super hot in the summer. Use self cooling white sand for the same cost! Looks great tho! :)
I did this and it got all mouldy and stunk to high heaven!!!😂...but lasted till siummer was over😅
Why do you think it molded?
Looks gorgeous ❤❤❤
But there's so little contribution back to the atmosphere. Nothing to balance your oxygen use or other carbon footprints. Laziness isn't sustainable.
you really need to do some calculations mud doesn't produce oxygen and the little grass enough for an hour of breathing after 20 years
thats all that there was unless biology means invisible giant plants@@kinkytoes
You should not use this. So bad for the environment. Lazy people
Some people are disabled and incapable of maintaining a garden space, it’s not always laziness
Do you have a full length video for this project , I would love to know how you did the pebble walkway ..was this with fabric underneath or otherwise ..thanks
incredible work. did you really did all by yourself

Love this. I am using turf for areas in my backyard
You know how to keep the weight down. Beautiful yard.
Shoud use a carpet kicker when you nail the turf to prevent flexing when it's hot/cold, but you could always pull it up and do it again later :)

Looks great! How does it hold up in heavy rain? Doesn’t look like it needed a drainage system installed.
Only problem is that stuff smells awful when pets urinate on it ….
Just read an article about how terrible of an idea this is.

Great job 👏🏽
Amazing!!!

I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world. Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
But the real garden is wrecked by this.
never
It looks good but do you have intense heat that will possibly melt plastic overtime. Otherwise I do like it & appreciate your hard work!😮
What’s the surface temperature on the turf?
From my experience it gets really hot under the blazing sun, works well in shady areas.
200 degrees Fahrenheit
Beautiful Job! Haters will hate!!!
Amazing

Ya its looks good 👍 that's one way to save on the water Is shortage
What was the cost?
What happens when rain falls ?
