When I was a contractor we were redoing a bunch of hotel rooms and when we moved a dresser it had a sticker on it that said... "this piece of furniture is made from genuine wood grain formica.  Accept no cheap substitutes."

Then I found a knock off of a replica of a water sprinkler that spread fake water over the fake grass and it seemed to help keep the imitation pollen from spreading. But that didn't last long, so I had faux concrete poured over the fake grass and  turned it into a genuine, imitation parking lot.

You need a side business selling John Deer lawn vaccums that just look like riding lawn tractors.

You may not have to mow it, but you will probably need to vaccum the sand and dust out of it.

Probaby need a scrubber too for the dogs that think this is the perfect place to shxt and pee.

Seagoon,

That really wouldn't work. Outside of a golf course no one in Arizona has a real lawn large enough to need a riding mower. They'd know for sure it was fake if they saw a mower like that on it.  ;)

What happens when a dog comes by and deposits a gift?  Is it fecal freindly?

naw, not after all the infill is placed.

Just to answer a few questions:

1. It's gauranteed against  defects for 7 years, 15 years for fading. For non comercial use, you can expect the stuff to last for up to 20 years.

2. Weeds: we take out any old lawn with a turf remover and go 4 inches down, then treat for weeds and place granit infill over the dirt. This prevents weeds and allows good water drainage.

3. you dont have to vacume it....just use a leaf blower on it.

4. I think I have st augustine...have about 20 different kinds. The most expensive stuff I have is the Kentucky bluegrass for some reason.

5. Pets. If your dog craps on it, just hose it off.....but it's not recommended for a premanent pet area.

Anyway, I'll post some pics of this place we just measured....beofre and after. It's got a huge lawn ( front and back) and the guy is paying $1000.00 a month just to maintain it and his plants/trees.

I'm going to make a nice suit out of the grass too.....so I look like a player.

You bet it was nasty.... I still sport a faint burn scar in my knee from a bad slip on that kind of stuff in daycare, about 1978. I remember I cried my lungs out.

whats the price range (cheapest to highest) per square ft/yd?

what would price range be for 1 acre installed?

just an estimate will be fine. (unless you really want to crunch the numbers)
