Hi Trevor,
There are good and bad, the more expensive will look more natural. I was lucky to get some expensive $70ish per square metre for $33.00 per square metre. Mine has quite close together tufts and also has a support layer of "dead" looking grass that help keep the main grass fluffed up. It is the most natural one I have seen, and have had several people walk by and comment on how nice my lawn looks, until I tell them its fake, then the call me a cheat, after they reach down and rub their hands on it!
Yes I laid it myself with the help of my son and son-in-law. Once I'd worked out what I was doing it was pretty straight forward. Don't do it in windy conditions though. Not because of the lawn itself as its VERY heavy but the joining tape blows around all over the place.
I don't have animals, although I seem to accommodate other peoples...have scooped up a few poop's, with seemingly no effect on the lawn. Obviously if you have dogs that dig, make sure there is an area they can dig, as they will go some to get through the base layer. Although if they are persistent and continually scratching at it close to the edge they could hook their claws into a drain hole and lift the grass up or start to tear out the tufts.
