How do you do subsurface irrigation? I have removed a swimming pool and I need another foot of topsoil to fill the hole completely so now is the time to do that.

Ron your the only bloke I know that likes it when the neighbour cuts your grass

I need to do an area of grass soon and have been looking at artificial turf. Although I need to research some more I think it has come a long way and while it is more expensive at the beginning the lack of maintenance after installation is a great benefit.

Why would anyone complain about it?

I would, however, complain about your use of your instead of you're!

Given the lack of water my lawn looks like crap, but my uncle seems to be able to maintain a pretty nice lawn:

Just waiting for Rovercare to criticise the edging.

Dunno about that, it has stripes through it.

Ive done some work down in the deep dark dungeons there at the MCG (I think thats where it is).

I used to do on site work before I was at the golf club.

As far as the artificial grass goes, I dont like it as it gets stuck in the mower...

The only real problem with it is that it can discolour where the sun hits it more than another area so you end up with lines as well as it can get stretched where you walk on it as well as it does take periodic maintenance top dressing with sand to keep it sitting properly.

It does look good but it is still a temporary ground cover and doesn need to be replaced regularly as well as it will still wear out and degrade but it does take several years.

We do actually use it from time to tome in areas to provide cover over sections we are working on.
