It's artificial grass called Synlawn. There is a store in Albuquerque. The house is on the West side across St. Francis. Yes, I do work in Santa Fe as I still make trip there regularly. I am planning a trip April 26th.

I love when this site can generates business for vendors. Glad you sent Emily your information. Good luck.

I love this. Awesome design Mark!

Does turf get hot in direct heat and can you walk or sit on it in the heat?

Some styles can get hot in direct sun but cool off quickly once the sun moves off the surface. Most brands sell a nylon version which holds the heat less but not completely. I've used it on a few projects and never really been an issue other than the peak times of sunshine in desert climates.

Mark's right ... some turf does get hot - and some hotter than others. Our turf is unmatched in quality, and if it would get hot, a quick spritz of the hose will cool it down rather efficiently. We're working on some 'top secret' stuff that will keep it from ever heating up :)
What part of the country do you live?

southern California. Usually cool, however this weekend was really hot, 95 degrees and I noticed the samples we had laid out to choose were really hot...it started me worrying. How can I find your brand?

Brand?

Synlawn

ngragg - we're located in Vista, tNorth County San Diego. We have a show room, or we can send someone to you with samples.

can you please tell me what the border is in the bottom left of the photograph?

The planting at the border are Coral Bells and Columbine. The edging to make the curved border is the standard edging purchased from Home Depot or Lowe's. If I didn't answer your question let me know.

everyone seems to love this space. It is really just lovely.....Can you please tell me the color and brand of the focal wall?

Thank you. It's actually a custom mixed stucco so I can't provide you with a paint color. However, it's a burnt, sienna orange if that helps you at all.

It is very beautiful. I just moved to California City Ca. and we really are in the middle of the Mojave. We just moved into a house that has 1/2 acre we have to figure out what to do with. Seems very daunting when I look out at the dirt and sand.

Thank you for the advice...I have pinned some many pictures from here and HGTV that I believe I have some good choices.

Excellent...good luck.

How about Arizona? Anything by Tucson?

The project is in Santa Fe, NM. It's not real grass it's an artificial turf called Synlawn. Lots of great products out there. East Turf for one. Hire an expert!

Dead, sterile, synthetic site that is completely void of life and is dumping microplastics into our rivers, oceans, wildlife, and into our very bodies.🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮
