I installed about 500 sq. ft. of artificial turf on my front year in MA. because of the same reason...plus I was here in NH most of the summer and could not take care of real lawn. Contact my installer.....Bill Burke at
w.p.burke@comcast.net He comes to the Lakes Region as he has relatives here and spends weekends, etc. He may be just the person to install this for you. My new lawn looks terrific and is the talk of the town!!!!!
