Turf vs Astroturf

Hi,

My garden is, unfortunately, COMPLETELY slabbed over in hideous pink and yellow. Can I just lift them up and lay turf on the sand beneath? What about 'astroturf'? I've got 2 small boys itching to get some grass. Anyone tried either solution?

Thanks.

 

I'd take you time, and get a decent lawn by lifting the slaps, preparing the ground and then turfing - or get a professional to do it for you.

Methinks it will pay off in the longer term, over astro turf - with two small boys, twould require a bit of maintenance to keep looking clean.
