A couple thoughts on the grass: Dont go cheap on the material or labor. Try to keep the seams as minimal as possible.

I bought some cheap remnants to do a test area of several hundred square feet (long story), and I can vouch for your comment. Cheap stuff does not hold up well. And it takes more skill that it would seem. My DIY install looked good initially but is starting to curl around the edges…not a good look.
And the seams are definitely visible.
Another consideration: artificial grass gets HOT mid-day, so it may not be the best choice if you like walking barefoot or having kids laying in the grass during the hot part of the day.
We will probably redo the whole yard in artificial eventually…but that time around I’m gonna go with real nice products and professional installation.
