"Waterless" Grass
Last year – at just about this time – I asked folks for any thoughts/experience with some of the newer “synthetic grass” or “waterless grass” products available. We got a few helpful responses, but we didn’t go forward with anything. So now, with spring upon us again, does anyone have thoughts or experience they would…

So now, with spring upon us again, does anyone have thoughts or experience they would be able to share?
Thanks much.
all of you should be ashamed of your tacky rudeness! If he wants to put a fake lawn so be it. Being mean and rude is not an opinion!!!! There are good synthetic lawns these days but there are also NO MOW LAWS. A type of grass that may need mowing 2-4 times a year. You can buy it as seed. High country gardens of Colorado has the seed. Another option but pricecy is planting thyme, yarrow,oregano or chamomile. They will only grow to 3-4 inches bloom smell great and will only need mowing 2 maybe 3 times a year. Please People RUDENESS IS NOT CUTE!!! Also synthetic lawns have become very natural they look and feel like grass but do require proper drainage(get a landscaper to look your yard) and are expensive. Look at the other options I have thyme and yarrow lawn upstate. It smells fabulous. In spring and early summer my lawn is white and lavender blooms. If I don’t mow it till late August I have white , yellow and pink yarrow blooms and no one minds looking at it and i have cutting blooms to bring in house.
Good luck!
Jock, any photos of a proper jungle? very curious. maybe you’re kidding?
southslope you’re perpetuating the south slope poor as ass-taste stereotype. in the name of whatever is holy to you — don’t do it!!!
Although nowadays there is some good fake grass, the only reason I can think of using it is to make a putting surface in your backyard. Keep in mind that this stuff is impervious and the entire area will need to be drained properly. If you are tired of taking care of the yard and don’t really use it, get a landscape architect to design a proper jungle. There are two houses down the street from mine that do this and it really looks great. If I could talk my wife into it I would do the front this way.

You mean outdoor carpeting? Oh God, don’t!
Grass is horrible anyway…get a proper landscape job with plants and pavers or something.
