Answer 2

Artificial grass is about the word of all lawn substitutes (gravel, cement, mulch):.

• In place of herbicides and pesticides it gas to be scrubbed (like a rug) and re-dye it periodically with nasty chemicals
  
• In place of weeding you have to weed it (or spray for weeds) as the weeds grow in dust falling on the arificial turf
  
• In place of lawn mowing you have to wash it with power washers
  
• In place of improving it by reseeding you have to periodically rip it up and replace it
• In place of absorbing water and controlling runoff it sheds all water to the street overpowering storm sewers
• In place of doing relaxing year work you have to hire external contractors.
• If kids or traffic destoy a place on the surface it doesn't regrow
