Hey everyone! I'm looking to spruce up my backyard and I'm torn between a few options. I've been quoted about $4,000 to pave it with terracotta tiles, which feels pretty steep. I'm also considering painting the existing concrete, but I've heard mixed reviews about that. Then there's astro turf, which I know some people have strong opinions on. Have any of you tried any of these options? What do you recommend? Thanks a lot!

Honestly, I understand the hesitation with astro turf, but it can be a real game-changer for low maintenance. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially on a gardening forum, but if you're looking for easy upkeep, it’s worth considering. Just do your research and find something natural-looking!
If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, painting the concrete can actually work if you do it right. I checked out Dizzy Duck Designs for some cool stenciling techniques, and some folks have had great success with it. Just be sure to prep the surface and use high-quality outdoor paint to help it last longer!
That's great advice! I've seen some stunning stenciled concrete. Just remember, it's all about the prep!
