I'm thinking of "astroturfing" my yard

[achiro]

With all the rain and my schedule, I can't keep up with the mowing. When the rain stops I can't keep up with the watering. I want a nice looking lawn that stays green and doesn't grow. A nice Turf should work. Not that green porch carpet sheet. I'm talking the high dollar stuff that they use on foosball fields. I figure it can't be much more than the cost of a sprinkler system and if the longevity is there then it will save on water and mexican labor over time making it a money saver. So who do I need to call to get this ball a rollin?

I'd do this if I could afford it.

Oh, and a nice little site with a pros/cons blog
