I’m with disimilar on this. The whole fake grass thing seems less like a real solution and more like a fad. Why not fake trees and a plastic dog too? I suspect that a few years from now everyone will be trading tips on how to tear this stuff out. It will be looked on like shag carpets and avocado-colored appliances. We live surrounded by plastic, do you want your yard to be one more plastic place? And don’t get me started on the chemicals, lead, etc.
There is so much wonderful landscaping that can be done with drought tolerant plants. Think of that yard as a canvas! Do something real with it! And you can always have a *small* real lawn for kids to play on, to take a nap on, etc.
