Seen a few lawns with it that look quite tidy.
There was this thread for asking about it a while back http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=614039

I honestly think this stuff should be banned. In a time where we are being encouraged to become 'greener' replacing plants with artificial alternatives, and especially something as simple to maintain as grass just seems mental

Its due to the fact that we have 3 dogs and I've got no time to maintain because ive gota run my business and my gf is constantly looking after our daughter and any time we spend in the garden we just want to chill out ,so it's just the easiest and best option for us

Because kids can play on it without getting covered in mud and it doesn't need mowing every few week, that in my mind is s perfect few reasons . Also if lawn is shaded grass may not grow nice so this would again do

Artificial grass in a back garden looks terrible.
Dogs shouldn't be making that much of a mess.

My dog is going through a very annoying stage of ripping up clumps of grass, taking the turf soil with it, and leaving massive great divots in the ground 
That and the fact wherever he pees it starts going brown, must be sneaking roidz while we are at work all day
