I'm about to go for fake grass too. A 2.7 x 3.7m lawn in a shady spot with insufficient drainage just isn't worth it, since it's slowly degenerating into a mass of moss and weeds. Where did you get your "turf" from @mashton?
I am very proud of my plastic grass. An L shaped yard, 1.2m wide, by 4.5m long was never going to have a lawn. Before the fake grass it was a concrete shit hole. Now it's full of pots of colour, fruit and herbs, has my kids playing in it, has people eating in it and me sun bathing in it.
None of this transfornation would ever have occurred without the fake grass. Which my brother and I laid ourselves, compkete with odd layout, cutouts for drains and two tonne of sharp sand base. Not to mention the two foot deep drill holes through the concrete for drainage.
I love my fake lawn, it has given me a garden.
