Artificial grass is gaining popularity following a recent decision by the Glendale Planning Commission.

Commissioners voted 4-1 to permit up to 50% of front lawns to be made up of artificial turf, with the remaining half required to contain live plant material. This new policy allows homeowners to replace their natural lawns with artificial turf, provided it does not exceed 50% of the lawn area.

This change offers a significant opportunity for Glendale residents to conserve water, as maintaining artificial lawns does not require irrigation. The decision comes at a crucial time as the region continues to grapple with an ongoing drought and water crisis, making water conservation more critical than ever.
