    Have you ever thought about walking stones or paving stones and a hardy ground cover? I can’t imagine feeling close to nature on fake grass and doesn’t the bbq melt the grass?

      BBQ is on a couple of paving slabs, was morr talking about social seating and eating But paving slabs are hard, less comfy for play and seating. Also they get very hot in summer (seem to get hotter than the fake grass). I don’t see why dead area of stone is any better

      Hardy ground cover may work but we have struggled to find any hardy enough to establish.

        I was suggesting the mix, where you plant the hardy ground cover in the holes of a paver.

        I don’t see why dead area of stone is any better

        I think it’s the cheap plastic and we know it’s not great for us, kids especially. I guess it’s better than painting your dirt or gravel? https://tucson.com/news/local/arizonas-painted-gravel-yards-fading-into-history/article_c1e10e28-a044-11e0-8bb2-001cc4c002e0.html
