I think the synthetic lawn is really pretty. I also love having real grass. Sometimes it can be a pain but I like to mow the grass. I guess it would be nice in the winter your lawn would be green and not dead.
Synthetic lawns are a lot like green energy these days, solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal heat pumps are very expensive but if you have the money up front they will save you a bunch of money in the long run. Synthetic grass is no different, yes it's expensive but think of how much water, gas, and time you will save and the newer synthetic lawns look amazing. Unfortunately much like green energy I don't have the money to put down or I would.
