Have you ever considered installing artificial grass?

[UCGal]

the current synthetic grasses “perc”. The water DOES drain into the ground underneath – hence recharging the aquafer. It is not the same as an impermiable concrete which forces the water into the storm water system. Rain will soak into the ground similar to if it were real grass. If it’s a hard clay surface underneath the synthetic grass then it won’t drain… but it wouldn’t drain if it were real grass over hard clay.

Lawns in San Diego make no sense… they make sense in places with lots of rain like Pennsylvania, Western Washington, etc… but here you cannot maintain a lawn without irrigation. It’s a hold back to the old english estates where you had rolling hills and sheep to keep them cropped.

I don’t understand why places like Jersey and SF are putting in artificial turf. it really does make a lot of sense for socal. drainage is not an issue. the fine rubber tire pallets are a concern.

Veritas, If you are making an argument about water running over crushed water, dont you also have to consider ill effects of fertilizer and lawn treatments? I also don’t think its clear that if there is any truth to the rubber dust argument, that it would maintain the same potency over time, vs. repeated applications of fertilizers that will always be full potency.

As for petroleum products in general, what do you think the exposure is to grass, vs. a wii controller, cell phone case, car interior, toys, furniture, etc.

We live in San Marcos too and my friends just installed it in their newly built home.
They said they LOVE it. They have a dog and used to have grass which the dog left a mess and was a lot of trouble to upkeep. This has made it a piece of cake. The water bill, no mowing etc.

The only con they have found is that it heats up in the summer. They just spray it down with a hose for a few minutes and it is good to go.

I am considering it and was surprised how good it looks these days.
