HOA opposing water saving alternative.


1. When I realized how extreme the water conditions in or our state have become.......

2. When I got tired of the fertilizers and weed killers and watering, I decided to do a little research on the web and found an amazing likeness to this lawn of my dreams. And it was synthetic! Can synthetic turf look that good and be durable enough to withstand years of wear and tear? From what I'm reading in reviews on the web, AGL Grass can and is truly the next generation of artificial grass.
Eco-friendly and pet friendly it suits itself to both commercial and residential applications. Made of 100% recyclable material, this strong, long lasting, polyethylene grass will provide years of enjoyment will save you big bucks in the long run. Nix the stinky gasoline lawn mower, the harmful pesticides, the lawn care chemicals, the allergies, and turn that sprinkler off too, cuz guess what ? No more wasting water either. AGL artificial grass is made from environment-friendly polyethylene blades and a woven fiberglass backing for durability and drainage. The blades are soft and the backing has multiple layers to prevent stretching, tearing or premature breakdown. All of these materials are 100 % recyclable, and it’s UV-protected so it won’t fade. Oh and did I mention AGL has been featured on such TV shows as Living with Ed, Real Life and Design Spaces? Now I'm impressed!

3. Installing artificial turf was not meant to upset the HOA, it was a kind of wake-up call....a way of showing what can be done to help reduce our need for water, chemicals and fuel . Instead of looking at the benefits, the HOA would only look at the covenants and respond...... that these covenants say that only " Fescue Grass" may be used.

4. Well, the truth is that the conditions that we are living with and the availability of products like this artifial turf did not exist when the covenants were written. (If the Covenants are broken - outdated- they should be fixed - revised.)
