Thinking about installing artificial grass? The pros and cons

The idea of putting away the lawn mower forever sounds appealing especially on hot days. But what seems to be the perfect replacement for grass, could be dangerous for your kids and pets during summer.

    I call b.s. There’s no way artificial grass get to 170 degrees. Blacktop doesn’t even get that hot.

    Such an irresponsible dog's owner which never picked up their dog's poo - but well, fortunatelly dog's poo isn't so smelly like cat's and smelled more mild than human's. I could consider you're still lucky because here on my neighborhood there's no dog's poos but so many cat's poos. Our residential area has so many parks with open frontyard houses - which _all full of grass_ and cats _can not_ digging any grasses. Could you imagine how disgusting their diarrhea type smell of poos and acidic urines spreading through the air on some part of the parks everyday? Yuks! 🤢

    That's why you put in some sand and water it in with your sprinklers for a minute or just use the hose and spray it down it will cool it down quite a bit.

    We just installed artificial turf and putting green. We have 4 dogs. We live in Phoenix. Solution? Invisible Fence! After only 4 days, one dog has broken thru a couple times. He follows hubby. But no more! The installers work with you and follow up with your dogs and you! We only put it around entire perimeter of green area. They have real grass on other side. So, there IS solutions out there! Think outside the box. Well worth the investment . For their safety, and less maintenance cleaning messes for you!

    It all depends on the grass. There cool yarn and cool fiber turf which stays a lot cooler. I’ve installed for shelters never had dogs rip it up or have callbacks. Was prob a bad install. Or crappy turf. I suspect a poor install.

    If the temperatures are that hot outside, I would have the kids stay inside the air conditioned house to play. 🤦🏻‍♀️. I leave in California where it gets up to 112 degrees, no one wants to be outside in those temps, if they don’t have to.

    You have to go your state's website to get that information. First you get a guestimate from landscapers on the work that needs to be done, then submit it to the state. If it is approved, you pay the money and have the work done. The money comes back to you in a rebate. My family did it, and their yard looks great!
