There are companies out west who replace grass with artificial grass due to their severe water shortage problems. It's pricey but looks immaculate, and you can't tell it isn't grass till you walk on it. It's not the old artificial turf stuff from our youth.

I would love to have it, esp. since it says the dog pee wouldn't stain it yellow!

Yes, CFrance -- it's difficult to tell from the photo what the end product will look like. We have a river rock stream-looking treatment, but it isn't as busy as what that photo shows.

We had turf in Vegas and it was a God-send because of our dogs. It is the only thing that is dog-proof.
