Tip of the Day



Artificial grass

Want a lawn that stays beautiful 12 months a year with no weeding, watering mulching or mowing? With new, better-than-ever artificial grass, only sales are growing. Sales are up 25 percent -- and the increase is mostly for homes, not sports arenas as you would think. This isn't the cheesy, fake-looking stuff of the past, but rather is a lush and supple cushy green lawn that fools passers-by and even neighborhood dogs. And while the no-maintenance aspect is appealing, some neighborhoods frown on it because it looks too good. Consider homes with a perfect lawn in the dead of winter. On the other hand, some cities love it and they're giving homeowners tax credits -- because it reduces water consumption. Prices are around $10 a square foot, about 10 times more than a conventional lawn. And that's the On The House Tip for today.
