Artificial grass?

[kerrensimmonds]

Does anyone know anything about this - or even have some?
My so called back lawn is now a quagmire, with dead soggy 'stagnant' patches where the dog has killed the grass, and given that the back garden is enclosed all round and on two sides by high trees, not much sun gets down to grass roots (ha ha!) level so there are soggy, mossy bits and other bits where the grass is struggling in clumps. I had several options - but today an OB friend suggested artificial grass. Hmmmm.
(The other options were gravel (which would be difficult to maintain because of leaf fall), digging out and returfing (but I would still have the dog problem), or paving (which could be very expensive)).
So can anyone offer any advice?

i quite like the artifical grass idea there was something a while ago on the one show about a lady who has it-sorted the dog problem and no need to mow it!
