    I made and offer on a house in San Marcos that has a large backyard. It is a foreclosure and kinda trashed. All of the grass is dead and will have to be re-sodded…OR, I could install artificial grass. With the cost of lawn care and water restrictions this might make sense. The new turfs are not like the old days and look and feel like the real stuff.

    The soccer fields in Aviara have artificial turf. They look real and feel great. I’ve run on them a few times and played some games there. I was impressed.

    Reduced water bill, no lawn maintenance, always looks green and real…what’s not to like?

    Any thoughts?

    In many developments it’s against the HOA rules … and in some cities (notably in Orange Frickin’ County) artificial turf is illegal. Drought or no drought.

    YIKES! Even in your backyard? Let’s see… no noise and air pollution from the lawn guys and no need for watering so that is good. All in favor of making it illegal say AYE.

    We have mulled it over but not seriously yet.

    But I must warn you about the early poll returns, and I’m not sure if this is important to you…but artificial grass will not impress women – drought or no drought. Every time I mention that we may do it to a female I get a crinkled nose reaction followed by the utterance of the word “no”. Which is something I generally don’t like to hear from their lips.

    Just a warning.
