The Simi Valley City Council Monday night expanded the allowed uses of artificial turf throughout the city to conserve water during the state’s severe drought. The council adopted an ordinance allowing use of synthetic grass, which does not require as much watering as real grass, in up to 50 percent of the landscape area of multifamily residential…
Synthetic turf technology has developed at an outstanding rate over the past few years. We’re now at a point where we can get creative with turf. We’ve seen artificial grass on rooftops, on walls, in campsites and even in indoor office spaces. At Artificial Turf Express, we are proud to have helped design artificial turf logos…
It’s a win for synthetic turf! At least 12 of the 45 Bay Area water districts are giving homeowners an incentive to replace their lawns with artificial grass. With California’s severe water drought, homeowners are conserving water by restricting the amount of water used to keep their lawn thriving. Dead and dying lawns are unattractive, and…
Last month we spotlighted some stars nervy enough to waste water by making sure their resort-like back yards were the model of perfection. By examining the way some Beverly Hills stars kept their lawn plush and their pools filled, you would never know California was suffering the worst drought on record in 60 years.

A bill that would allow Californians who live in homeowner associations to replace their lawns with artificial turf, without fear of fines, easily passed its first hurdle in the state Assembly on Wednesday. By a 7-0 vote, the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee approved the legislation, which is authored by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San…
Artificial Turf Express (ATE) recognizes that homeowners and business owners who want the beauty and low-maintenance benefits of artificial turf sometimes have other obligations that keep them from installing the product themselves.

When it comes to backyard design, it doesn’t always have to be just one option or the other. We love the look of mixing, matching and blending styles, tones and textures to create diverse and versatile outdoor living spaces. One of our favorite combinations is blending warm-toned decking with the deep greens of artificial grass. This…
Synthetic grass is much easier to care for than natural grass. You don’t have to drag a heavy bag of smelly fertilizer around.

And what may be…
