I had IntelliTurf installed in my 2200 sq foot back yard. I have two large dogs, and a number of shade trees so I never had more than mud and moss in the yard most of the year. I looked at a number of different products and decided on IntelliTurf due to the quality of the grass blade and the detailed proposal. It took the team about a week to install, including creating 3 french drains to improve drainage from the house (a pre-existing condition that I should have addressed previously). They were courteous and thorough. There is a lot of crushed stone and sand, so be prepared to have it dumped.
I would recommend that you make sure you do not have chipmunks or moles living in your yard prior to installing- I had one living in the ground about 5 feet from the edge of the turf. He dug a channel under the turf to get in and out. I am going to have it fixed next spring now that I am sure he is no longer there.
Overall I am very pleased and wish I had not waited so long to do it.
I have gotten loads of compliments on the look and feel of the "lawn". Clean up is so much easier than what I had before. No smell, no browning of the grass, no puddles and no mud. What could be better?
