Does anyone have it installed at their home? If so, is it holding up? Can someone recommend a company near San Dimas?

These guys just did my neighbor's house. They may have dealers in your area. It looks so real you have to touch it to see that its not. The true give away though is how green and perfect it always is. I am looking into getting some. It runs about $8/sqft installed...very spendy:jawdrop:

I put some in my back yard last summer. It doesn't drain very well back there and I wanted the kids to play back there more than they did at the time. 900 square feet cost $7500.
It is holding up really great. My kids don't get near as dirty as they used to. Water drains right through.
One thing that sucks is I didn't used to worry about dirt and stuff getting in the grass, now I do. You can tell it's fake when you walk on it or touch it, but not to look at it, other than it looks too perfect.
I'd do all 4 lawns if I could afford it.

GunninGopher, What type of fake grass did you go with?
can you post a picture of your yard? I'd like to see it other than the manufacturers web site.

Fock HOAs! When I had my condo, The HOA would bitch every time I had my boat in my driveway. I'll never make that mistake again.

Check this out. Pretty cool, the NFL may be putting fiber optics in field turf in a few years.

I've had it in the back yard here in Havasu since July, and we love it. The dogs roll and play in it and it looks great. I'm not sure what brand it is, but Sw putting greens did it and while spendy, worth every penny!

What is the lifespan of the synthetic in the Havi sun and heat. Most I've seen is 15 years.

Any luck so far? I need to get some installed in my backyard soon.

I put it in my backyard, and its great. I used a company called Centerstage, they are located in Rancho Cucamonga, I think. There are several different types of "grass" blade type/length etc....
Its a bit expensive, but for the area I did its great, and I get nothing but compliments. From inside the house, you gotta look hard to see that its not real.

I have a company coming out of San Diego Thursday for a quote. They use the 110oz fake grass, the 110oz is suppose to be the best. I'll let ya know.
