Grassman seems to have an issue with the Pregra grass in Costco. Hum… then why has Pregra been in Costco for the last 3 years and no other artificial grass products? They are the manufacturer from GA not just a distributor that really has no idea on what goes into making quality synthetic grass made in the USA – including all components as well. That’s right people pay attention to where the components of your artificial turf come from as well. Some companies are buying spools of yarn overseas (china) and tufting the turf here in the USA and stating Made in USA – which is BS. Do your research people – I recommend the STC (Synthetic Turf Council) discusses all artificial grass companies and what to look for as a consumer. They are not biased as to gain awareness about a certain manufacturer or distributor. All in all, Artificial grass is great for saving water and little maintenance is required. I got my lawn from Costco, Pregra’s new brown thatch product and my neighbors thought it was real. Besides they have their Pregra Pros that came and gave me an estimate (and eventually did the installation as well) and it was the first company where I felt I was not getting bullied into accepting an offer and when I asked them about Synlawn (challenger actually) and Field Turf (also Easy Turf) there was no name bashing at all they just expressed that they thought the idea of changing my lawn from natural to artificial was great for the environment and would save me money, time and water in the future. Also, be careful about companies that show you grass samples and then take them with you. Often companies do a bait and switch with the grass that is less of a face weight or contains nylon and such. Always keep the sample if you are buying the grass then you can match it to the grass when you order comes into your house so you make sure you are getting what you paid for. Good luck and yea for going green!

Synthetic grass can definitely be eco-friendly. Your article made some pretty good points such as pollution and fertilizing. Not many people know that many advancements and improvements have made synthetic grass non-hazardous and more green. Switching to this beneficial alternative can make significant changes to your lifestyle plus helping the environment. I have had my synthetic grass for awhile now, and I don’t regret it. Although its not for everyone, it should definitely be considered. I would recommend syntheticgrasswarehouse.com Their artificial grass feels and looks natural that you can’t tell the difference. Hope this helps!

We have an artificial grass company in the UK, and we are not out to carpet the world in artificial grass either (as another poster described it). It is a product which is useful for some people who have various issues with having a real lawn, and can be useful in those situations. Outside my office we actually have both real and artificial grass.

Lots of back and forth and politicing!! For what its worth we came across a synthetic sod / synthetic lawn installer (Eco Alliance / Eco Hardscape Systems) close to our home in Ontario, CA. They did a beautiful job. They were courteous, friendly, professional, and prompt. I encourage anyone in the inland empire to check them out. (And their prices were better than the folks from Lowes listed above.) http://www.ecowaterlessgrass.com

So, if I’m reading Lou right, then New Grass is not big on Capitalism, they are more interested in making the world a “greener” place. Great ideal, but if I’m investing thousands for a synthetic lawn, I want a company that wants to make money and will be around for a long time. I appreciate your high ideals Lou, but don’t bash capitalism on your way. Remember this is America. Out of curiosity are some of your manufacturers in China? I undestand that there are only a few manufacturers in the US. I want them to make my grass.

Once my wife and I moved to the desert, I converted our entire rock yard to artificial grass.

It looks great, saves time and money on maintenance fees.
