“Green” Grass?

Posted by: Kristian In: Uncategorized

Do you have a lawn in your garden? How many of you have spent a lot of time mowing your lawns, or paid a gardener to do it for you? How much effort have you spent in fertilizing the grass, and watering it every day, such that it would continue to look green?

I used to do all that, until I realized that it cost a lot of time, money, and effort just to keep your lawn looking decent. That’s when I started to look for artificial grass. I evaluated several manufacturers ranging from the pricier Heavenly Greens and Fieldturf, to the more affordable Pregra, which is available at Costco.com. I ended up getting Pregra, and had it installed by a local gardener.

I must say that I am very pleased with the results. Gone are the days of mowing and watering the lawn. My water bill was cut down in half, and my lawn always looks luscious green! You tell me which one you think is greener? Real grass or artificial grass?

Here are the various stages of development:

Preparing the soil and wall foundation.
