Grass: Synthetic and Real

NYT Wirecutter Does Not Recommend Synthetic Turf For Any Use
"As our research progressed, however, we realized we had serious reservations—synthetic turf can be a bad value over the long term, there are serious environmental problems to consider, and the costs to install and maintain any sizable, well-done installation proved so high that we concluded we’d be better off investing the money and effort in just about any other form of landscaping." - NYT Wirecutter
