IMO you need to have some sort of containment for thegravel so maybe share a bit about how this was installed as for the seam maybe wait a bit to see if it blends in.

Hi Patricia, there is 1 inch wide redwood bender board installed between the rocks and the turf. I will need to go out and rake the rocks a bit to smooth those out. They leveled the ground, packed sand/material down, wet it frequently, then nailed the turf, also put some glue at the seam

I am really have no real experience with fake grass but I am putting it on my deck on the ladder side of our pool since that part of the deck gets so hot you can't walk on it. I guess I will see what the seams look like there when done.

@Patricia Colwell Consulting, you might want to test out a piece first ... some artificial grass gets just as hot as other surfaces. I looked into it for a dog area recently and they have come out with some versions that are supposed to stay a bit cooler than the original versions.

We had artificial grass installed in the backyard of our previous home. No seams were visible.

Like with laying a real sod lawn, seams can be visible for a period of time. Use and care/grooming should make them unnoticeable shortly.

Thanks for that we did make sure we were doing it to help.

Have them come out and have a look at it and try it.
