I had no idea! I just saw a news clip about Realtors in a California city hiring a company to paint the lawns of foreclosed properties with dead lawns. It made me think about my own lawn and my struggle to green up the brown spots. Cool, now I can just spray a little paint on until it comes back green! Check out this website that sells the paint http://www.grassbgreen.com/ Of course, I have a few questions about this paint. Is it bad for the environment? Can you water the lawn after applying the paint? If anyone has used this, let us know how it worked out for you.

In Georgia due to the extremes in heat and cold in north georgia we have "warm season grasses. They go brown duing the winter and re green in the spring. Many folks use the lawn color and it does not impede the new growth in spring and their lawns stay green year round, If not always alive
That makes sense. I see a lot of dead lawns...obviously wont work in MN the rest of the year.
Hi Hope,
Interesting, I'm from SoCal myself, I'll click on over and take a look at your link.
Also, about 10 years ago I was at a back yard garden wedding in CA. The grass was fairly new and the homeowner decided to green it up with (maybe a smiliar technique) a day or two before the wedding. Not a good idea, they wound up with with "green" on the light colored carpeting inside, among other things.
I have wondered about doing that too. I can't help but question if it is false advertising though. If the lawn were truly dead and didn't come back out, I can see a problem. Has that happened to anyone? It does make a house looks a whole lot better.
Toni - I would reccommend a disclosure to potential buyers if you chose to use this on a listing.
This is interesting, my husband has talked about it. I'm in GA where we are having drought conditions so we have stopped watering the lawn. It does have some brown spots, but I'm hoping it will come back fine next year. I'm going to check into this. Thanks.

Sounds like a great idea for the homeowners. Who wouldn't want green lawns all year long. I may check this out this winter.
They do it at Comerica Park here in Detroit at the beginning of the baseball season, so why not?
There are many drought-resistant grasses on the market now, courtesy of plant geneticists. Of course, one could also plant the some good old-fashioned crabgress. LOL
Do they have a special paint that will cut my grass too. Find one and I am in!
