California Turns to Artificial Grass

Governor Jerry Brown announced last week the state of California's first-ever mandated water reduction measures. The state is enjoined to reduce their water consumption by 25%. The mandate is directed at homeowners who overwater their lawns. Jerry Brown even went so far as to say that the days of the nice green lawn getting watered every day is a thing of the past. With these stringent new regulations being put into effect, artificial grass is looking more and more attractive and less and less like a secondary choice.

One resident in Orange County says that she and her mother live in a house with a natural grass yard. The natural grass has been there for sixty years. However, she says that if the drought worsens, she and her mother will consider installing artificial grass. They won't however install xeriscaping because having lawn that is suitable for sportive activities is important to her family and her children.

Her mother even went so far as to call artificial grass the wave of the future. Indeed, artificial grass will soon displace natural grass as the standard surface material for residential yards.

The California Water Resources Board will announce how it will achieve statewide cuts in two weeks.

Synthetic Grass Saves Water Amid California Drought

If you've been thinking about installing synthetic grass in your lawn, now is the best time to make the jump. It will save you time and money, and will save the community water. Not only that, it will make your lawn the envy of the neighborhood by always appearing perfectly manicured and green all year round.

This is a great time to do it, especially if you live in California. Jerry Brown announced that water agencies that supply 90% of California's residents' water will be forced to reduce water consumption by 25% or face punitive consequences. The water agencies can use their own discretion on how to impose the water restrictions to the residents in their territories, but it has been posited that the directive is intended to target homeowners with lawns. Watering lawns and gardens is the main source of excess water usage among homeowners. The water agencies will more than likely raise the rates on water over users and reward those who spend water sparingly.

Thus, installing synthetic grass in your yard especially if you're a California resident is the most prudent and shrewd thing you can do if you want to retain a nice lawn that you and your family and pets can play on and yet save water.

Porch Potty Alternatives

Do you have a dog? Are you a homeowner? Are you considering getting a porch potty? Perhaps you should consider installing artificial grass instead. Some dog owners will partition an area of their yard for their dog, fence it off, and then install artificial grass in that area for their dog. Some place this designated dog area on the side of the house next to a dog door connected to the house so that the dog can come and go as they please. 

The main problem people encounter with a porch potty is with the drainage.  It leaks, which can get urine all over the porch. After a while, this can start to smell. A better alternative is the artificial grass dog run. If installed correctly, it doesn't have drainage issues like a porch potty because the liquids drain right through it, just like normal grass. Solid wastes are picked up manually.

Unlike a porch potty, an artificial grass installation has natural drainage just like real grass, except unlike real grass, the grass doesn't die. Furthermore, it can't be uprooted by your dog's digging like real grass. No more replacing patches of grass or emptying out the liquids from a porch potty.
