A quick lawn installation

This came up at dinner tonight, but only at my end of the table. If the installation of artificial turf is of no interest, feel free to skip this.

In southern California there is a "cash for grass" program that is hugely popular. Look at the results: 172 million square feet of turf removed in SoCal alone, which is more than three times the *state-wide* goal:

"Faced with overwhelming demand, the MWD Board of Directors voted Tuesday to increase funding for turf removal by $350 million, a temporary boost intended to cover the surge in rebate requests through the end of 2015. The money should be enough to replace 172 million square feet of grass — which far surpasses Brown's call for California to replace 50 million square feet with drought-tolerant landscaping."

Of course much of this will be replaced by drought-tolerant landscaping rather than artificial turf. But as one of a few options, artificial turf is a part of the solution. 

A side note: The first version of the "cash for grass" program was overwhelmingly used by commercial buildings.
