It's expensive. It acts like velcro, holding debris the wind blows onto it, and it develops weeds along the edges that are really hard to keep at bay. It gets super hot in the summer, to the point you can't walk on it in bare feet. And even the best fake turf looks cheap and fake, like it belongs in a trailer park. Thank God we only put it in the front yard, not the back yard.
