We absolutely love our Nexgen Lawn. It has been installed for 2 years. We have 2 Golden Retrievers that love it as well! Always green and always clean! It has held up very well with little indication of the running path of the dogs. There is no residual odor with the dogs either. Just use the leaf blower to clean it off. The grandchildren enjoy it without getting dirty and can roll or romp without the irritation of grass. I highly recommend installing this product. We have an area that is shaded with deck & patio making thick grass difficult to maintain. This was the perfect answer. It is one of the best home improvements we have made!!
