Had mine done going on 10 years now and still looks good....did it myself as 2boxer dogs and 2 kids ( now grown up) destroyd my lawn...did the work myself as like someone said its not cheap if done properly....put a timber frame around the edge to fix it to then a few tonnes of stone and grit sand a whacker plate to compact it down a black membrain to stop any weeds etc getting daylight under it and the astro on top....when I did it I found that it only came in rolls of 4m wide which meant I had to joint it which was the tricky part but the company I bought the turf off and delivered it the lads helped me get it in place and then explained how to joint it....if you are pretty clued up with ground work and laying carpet it's a doddle if ur not it might be wise to pay someone to do it
