    There was a piece on a homeowner getting in trouble with her HOA after having $11,000 worth installed at her home on the TV this morning.

    Lets use plastic everything (trees,shrubs,etc) no maintenance lasts forever! Does nothing to contribute to the environment.Lazy.Lazy. Lazy, And we wonder why we have the problems we have.

    Heat is a concern on Sythetic Turf fields. It has been suggested by some manufacturers to install irrigation systems for cooling. Our agency is not doing that at this time.

    Replying before reading is also lazy. Synthetic turf utilization addresses certain use and need issues for some users. It is not an end all be all. Read and learn and lead the way .

    There are ENDLESS uses for synthetic turfs, depending on the situation. Dog parks, spaces for people allergic to grass, fully shaded areas, sportsfields in low-income areas, daycare centers, indoor public spaces, indoor private spaces, indoor semi-private spaces, bookcovers, on top of roofs, on top of cars, on top of lawns, ok maybe not endless.

    has anyone seen synthetic turf used in dog parks? that seems like a really messy idea.
