I didn’t like the original turf & I don’t know anyone who has admitted to using the new stuff. I often go to Houzz: when I’m looking for this type of info. Yes, they sell the stuff so they might not be completely unbiased; but, it seems that this article gives some pretty good suggestions no matter which way you decide to go. Logically speaking, it seems to me that there would be a problem with mold. I know while looking someone pointed out the leeching of chemicals into the soil where it’s being used. That sounds logical to me although the company kind of skims right over that part. This article indicates that heat is still a problem with the artificial turf & they don’t suggest using it in the Southern states & IF I remember properly, Florida wouldn’t be the ideal place to install it. Although they give pretty detailed instructions on how to install it yourself in order to save $15–20/sqft for professional installation, it sounds quite detailed & tedious. Having said all that, I think you might want to either read or skim over this info for better info & ideas!!!
