With dry weather ahead for most parts of the United States, grass painting is becoming a popular way to conserve water and save money and time on lawn care.
  The grass is mown and edged then sprayed with a non-toxic dye.
  Once dry, the dye is safe around kids, animals and plants.
  The dye can be used on any kind of grass and once completed there is no need to water or mow the grass for roughly 3 months.
  After 3 months the grass should be assessed to see if it make sense to re-paint it or if it needs a rest period.
For years, athletic fields and golf courses around the county have been painted green.
  Now with drought conditions prevalent in most parts of the country, homeowners, businesses and city governments are painting grass to save money on water and landscaping fees.
  The city of Perris, California (roughly an hour away from Los Angeles) recently  set aside $2 million to stabilize high foreclosure neighborhoods.
  The city recognizes that having a large amount of homes standing empty invites vandalism and brings property values down.
  Some of these funds are being used to hire a contractor to spray paint lawns of foreclosed properties.
  The better the grass looks, the less blighted the neighborhood looks.
  The less blighted the neighborhood looks, the better chance the foreclosure properties have of selling quickly.
  The cost to paint most yards is a $200-400.
  With so many homeowners, businesses and cities being more cautious with their expenditures, grass painting is a wise and viable alternative to purchasing artificial turf which starts at around $10,000 for the typical lawn PLUS maintenance costs.
There is little down-side to painting lawns green during water shortages to save water, money and time.
  This is a true green solution that allows homeowners, businesses to conserve water while maintaining the natural look of real grass.
