I have a very small back yard and I am thinking about getting artificial turf. I see the commercials on TV about Heavenly Greens but I also read a review from someone who said they were quoted $18 sq ft versus $5 sq ft for another product (which they didn't name).

My daughter's dog totally trashed my back yard and I'm just now getting it back together. I hired my son and his friend to rake back all the rock, put down new landscape fabric, and put the rock back. I only have a few plants left alive after the dog and there is still one side of the house that is just dirt, about 9' wide by the length of the house. I'm thinking of planters along the edges for flowers and it would be nice to have lawn with stepping stones going to a small seating area.

Has anyone used artificial turf? If so, what brand and how do you like it?

This is what it looked like before the dog. It's all cleaned up again now and the deck boards were replaced and stained a dark red. I was going for a Japanese garden look.
