| Hey there. To me artificial grass looks artificial. I don't care for it but a mixture if some of the artificial greenery that is available can look quite nice. Remember it will become faded as the summer goes on. If the top of the filter is open like a Skippy, you can use pots of live plants that will thrive. |

| Its hard without a picture of what you are talking about... but I was thinking why not build a shallow box out of wood or plastic and plant some shallow rooted annuals in the box. Then you can pull the box away when you need to clean the filter, and then put it back when finished with no harm done. I had some artificial lily pads one year... after a week in the pond they looked like crap. I vowed never again to use anything artificial. |

| Artificial grass does look artificial sleepless, but thats because it is! It saves a lot of hassle compared to real grass though |

| hi judy, there are a couple of houses in our neighborhood that have this fake grass in the front yards. from a distance, they look nice and green, but once you are walking past the yard, you can tell that it is totally fake. although they don't need to be mowed or watered, looks like you would still have to use a leaf blower/yard vac on them to pick up all the debris that can collect on them from other plants in the yard. |
