Thanks for the link. With that, and the fact that a landscaper just told me it would cost $4-5K to cover my lawn, I'm not going to do it.

They are a PITA. I had one at my last house. There was always something breaking or broken.
I don't even bother to water the "grass" at this house. I've got better things to waste my money on.

That seems awfully high unless you have an extremely large yard (like an acre.) Around here for an average size front and backyard combined it usually runs around $1500-2000, $3k if it is a larger yard. I would recommend getting a few quotes.

We have at least a half acre. I'm fine with grass going dormant in the hot summer months.
