Select Surfaces Evergreen Artificial Grass - Assorted Sizes

We have a deck with pavers and a cement surround that needed work. We decided to try this product instead of trying to fix the cement and are pleased so far as it's only been installed a couple of weeks. One of the main instructions from the manufacturer is to make sure your surface is level. Since I had a few low spots that created small pools of water I purchased and applied self-leveling cement. My install was probably not the norm as I have long, narrow strips with curves and this made the job tougher than a square or rectangular area. The cuts turned out okay but a hired professional would have done much better. I "dry fitted" everything before using the seam tape and adhesive making sure the lay-out worked. If I had this to do over again I would have asked for help with the seam tape because it's difficult to keep the blades of turf from sticking to the very aggressive adhesive of the seam tape. This caused my seams to be more noticeable after applying the seam tape than they were with the dry fit. Another person could have helped keep the blades of turf from sticking as you expose the adhesive on the tape. I used both double sided outdoor tape and caulk adhesive to apply the turf to the concrete. The caulk adhesive works much better than the double sided tape in my experience. Our pool has direct sun for 8+ hours a day and the "grass" does get hot but not any more than the pavers or cement. It feels very soft and I'm surprised how much cushion there is when you walk. Overall we are happy with this product and glad we did it. We are next to the beach so I wonder about how much sand will accumulate in the blades and whether it will withstand the coastal salty environment long term.
