Bit of artificial grass - if you like that sort of thing

Gladly. That's not an improvement, it's monstrous. Fake grass on anything except an indoor football pitch or whatever is disgusting, anyone who installs it for a living is doing actual, measurable harm to the planet, and anyone who wants it installing needs to take a good hard look at the other options available. 
 
 
Harsh but fair.

Really is  getting more & more common now. It  seems  its standard for new second homes.

 

Technically it can be  recycled....

 

but im in no-doubt most  will end up dumped in laybys or set or fire in a 3rd world slums, or landfilled after it all is ripped up after its  5 -10yrs..... lifespan

Pays well 

It is clearly what the customer wants, but personally I can't stand a garden so sterile and featureless and "new out of a box" looking.  A garden is of course a place to relax and for the kids to play, but surely a little understanding that it is a piece of earth and a tiny slice of nature is healthy?

 

To be fair, is is any worse than a garden being paved over?  Well at least a paved garden won't ever cause plastic pollution!

Nearly every job I do now involves sleepers / artificial grass & kandala Grey Indian sandstone it’s a new thing and job after job it’s the same thing

Do the customers know it will get too hot to walk on with bare feet on a hot summer day?

Do they know what the effects of microplastic pollution are specifically on male fertility and sperm motility, and are they still happy to have the young lad playing on it, driving his trucks up and down it, tearing up countless thousands of airborn microplastic particles and breathing them all in, lodging deep within his lungs?

 

Did they know about that?
