Have you seen more artificial turf used in your area? Is it something that could be sold in your area?
Artificial turf helps lawn care get real (http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/home/articles/0630fakegrass0630.html) - "The market is growing exponentially," said Brooks, whose company began operations just a few years ago. "Our biggest (sales) area is in the Southwest, but we also are getting a lot of interest in the New York area. Water conservation is a major issue. It also makes more sense to use it in shaded areas and places hard to get to with real grass.
"It's a little more expensive upfront," Brooks said. "But there's no maintenance. No water costs. You don't have to mow the lawn. In the long run, the (artificial) grass pays for itself in three years. There's also a manufacturer's warranty on color fade," he said. "It won't show any wear and tear."
