Imagine having to try and clean off a runny dog turd that is slowly sinking into your plastic lawn. You can blast it with a hose and turn it into a pool of dog shit slurry; if the lawn is on slope you can try to encourage it to slurp downhill.
I wouldn’t want my entire yard of the shit, but I did buy a section to put on my deck for my dog that was no longer able to walk up and down the stairs. I put some clamps on the hand rail so I could hang it and hose it off afterwards because it did stink bad if I didn’t.
There are other issues which come with artificial lawns too:
A friend of mine has an artificial lawn and hot ash from her neighbours’ barbeques has made holes in it.
And my nextdoor neighbours have a cheap artificial lawn that now has weeds growing through it.
I moved in to a house with plastic grass, it’s only a tiny patch so to be honest I don’t mind, it wouldn’t be worth mowing. But I’d rather it was just a flowerbed or something. Why would you want a garden if you don’t like nature!
This should be banned, tbh.

I find the fake grass useful to hide ugly concrete, but I would never prefer it over real grass. Still, banning the product seems a little odd.
