Jackhammer81 and I use the 5mm with very good results, but as Sticky has stated..it depends really on what you are trying to portray.

Hi Mary and John,
For the project I am working on now it can be short grass not to long,
I guess another question would be can the 8mm grass be cut down or will it look funny?
Thanks
George

I asked about Heki and got these measurements a while back:
2mm=2 3/4" high
3mm=4 1/8"
4mm=5 1/2"
5mm=6 7/8"
8mm=11"
Hope this helps.
