Turf wars

As I blogged about here, I have been considering turf for our backyard, where grass has been tough to grow. We're finally having some success with grass - my husband planted a  PC-brand seed that is made for shade. ...but I still have turf on my radar - I passed this house today which has no natural greenery - everything from the grass to the hedge to the topiaries are F-A-K-E! How's that for low-maintenance!!?

  1. This house looks familiar - is it close to me? It's lovely.

  2. Good eye :) Closer to me - on Langford about a block and a half north of the Starbucks on the west side. It's a nice re-do...has a nice garage in the back too.

  3. Well, you would never know from the pictures! I can't believe the hedge is even fake. Seriously, it looks good.

    1. I know....some people argue it's better for the environment too, since it requires no fertilizer or water. I've read that it's about $8-$16 per square foot.
