Have you ever considered installing artificial grass?

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.

On thing of concern. It costs about as much as installing hardwood flooring.

fake grass is disgusting. you want your children to play on chemicals that are off gassing in the sun? I don’t get it. For the record I do not think real grass belongs in dry parts of socal either. The amount of toxic chemicals and precious water required is just nutty. Go with low water plantings natural to our area. They are beautiful – they flower – the hummingbirds like them and you will too!

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.
