Jude Albanese doesn’t pay a landscaper or run lots of sprinklers to maintain his lawn. He has retired his mower, and he doesn’t use fertilizer. Yet the grass in front of his New Jersey home looks so lush that some passersby feel the need to bend down and touch it.
The reason is simple: The grass is fake.
“You want to enjoy your yard, but it was always work and upkeep,” says the Nutley, N.J., homeowner, who had JM Synthetic Grass Surfacing install his faux lawn last month. “Now it’s much cleaner and neater. I should have done this years ago.”
