[quote=Anonymous]We also had a small shady backyard and ended up mulching all the area other than the hardscaped sections. Pros: It looked nice and allowed water to drain. Cons: we had to add more Mulch every year + our dog tracked a lot of it into the house. Gravel Might have worked out better except that we didn’t want our dog To have to walk on the stones. I would think that you’d still have drainage/mosquito issues with astroturf, and it might even be soggier than what you have now if you don’t get the drainage perfect. I’m not intrinsically opposed to small sections of astroturf, but I also don’t think that it’s an easy answer - you need to manage the water. For small yards, every square foot counts! Recommend really carefully thinking about your design and maybe even purchasing design/landscape visualization software, if you’re not going to work with a company. Good luck! [/quote]
