Both our neighbours gardens hold water when we have a heavy downpour, no such issues with my devil lawn.
I by no means endorse getting fake grass but as we inherited our garden from an elderly disabled couple i have struggled to find good reason to throw it in the bin. Other than the obvious benefits of being low maintenance it requires zero watering or feed. Our garden is full of bee and insect friendly plants and we have a big old composter to help improve the quality of the soil. Given the very poor soil composition and drainage issues our neighbours warned us about real grass is off the table. We have considered cutting it back and introducing gravel and grasses but we don't want to the dog to loose it's play space.
As noted before, this is somewhat misleading.
