Any new comments/advancements/preferred brands/issues/experiences/etc. regarding synthetic grass? Starting to think of landscaping for the upcoming season and this is bit higher on the list over real grass right now.

My friend owns rymar grass

There is a house at 4003 14A Street SW (runs into 39th Avenue SW), corner house, modern design, looks out over the dog park. I did not notice it as being artificial until in the middle of winter his lawn is all nice and green. The house is kind of grey and brown, very square, plenty of glass.

Thanks for the comments. I've seen many Rymar commercials lately and I'm guessing their show room would be a good place to start. I'll check out the other vendors as well when I get a chance.

Does this fake grass absorb heat like a real lawn? If you have real grass is sort of keeps your backyard cooler so was wondering if an artificial product would reflect more heat back.

LOL at $10/square foot. I think I have like 600 sq feet of grass...

Another place that sells Synthetic grass is a place right on 114th by the Deerfoot Inn & Casino, these guys.

Call and ask Linda about it, and the pricing.

There's a nuclear furnace called the Sun. It doesn't give a fuck about your lawn.
For the second quote:
I'm an insect, and am thinking that the real grass next door is more palpable. FFS, I can smell that biological treat from a mile away.
The rest fall for it and stagnant.
We as humans did not.
Now explain why we don't still swing through the trees, yet humans explore outer space.

What is the life expectancy of it? Maintenance must be minimal. What did it cost to put your initial 600 sf of sod down, buy the tools to maintain it and the time/expense on yearly work/weeding/watering etc?Originally posted by codetrap

I can't imagine it takes that long to negate the expense at ten a foot but, I'm not sure. I hire my stuff out as I have no time to allocate to yard work and even less interest. This stuff sounds good to me.... I have two beautiful city parks on two sides of me, annual money and time wasted on my lawn has no purpose.
I suppose it's a matter of preference too. I have the odd buddy who has that suburban pride in having the greenest most perfect lawn whereas I'm much more happy spending the weekend surfing at the lake or out on my bike or something than twiddling my greenthumb in my yard.

You're not happy with growing, maintaining, and spending time and money on something that you cut down every week?
Make your lawn a vegetable and fruit garden.
Wait again...
Do so and you'll be sued. Yes, sued for making the , well, uh, the sustenance of life.

ON topic - I see I've felt the same way for three years now about this stuff, that likely would have paid for half of it by now (I'll wait till I build a new house though).
OFF topic, yes Seth I don't understand why front gardens are so "wrong". It is dumb since you can have all you want in the back.

bignerd has a valid question. A real lawn helps cool down the area surrounding it. If you are unsure of how this works, Google it. Lots of information on it.

This guy in Cochrane has the fake grass. Looks great in the summer but super trippy in the winter.

Syncrude just put fake grass in around their building. Since the sidewalk is so narrow around their building, people were always walking on the grass and killing it, so it makes sense for them.
I've seen people walk by, notice it, and bend down to feel it with their hands lol. They used Train Lawn Care and it is lumpy and not nailed down very well.
I'm going to use it for my point of reference on the durability of synthetic grass over the next year or so.
You can also order synthetic grass by the roll on HomeDepot.ca now.

Would be awesome if they could make the grass change colour with temperature.

Even if everybody went synthetic with their lawn, it won't make any significant difference on temperature.Originally posted by A790
