Anyone here ever installed artificial grass themselves?

I have small fenced in area in the backyard for our small dogs (~870 sq ft). It's in direct sunlight and it's been a battle for the past couple years keeping burgrass out of there - but I've been losing the battle.

Was thinking about maybe trying to install artificial grass in that area, but I'm not sure if it would be worth it. Was wondering if anyone else on here might have installed it themselves and if so - does it get too hot for dogs, the smell, etc...

Or, should I look at maybe something like micro clover that might survive back there instead?
