Such a California thing to do. --24.152.xxx.xx

Silk flowers today are quite nice. I used them all the time for exterior shots. --198.54.xxx.xxx

If you've already listed, were photos not already taken & included in the listing? Sprucing up should have really been done first. --68.229.xxx.xxx

DJ brings up a good point about other hidden crazy things. I’ve heard of California’s painting grass. I mean, what DONT you guys do out there? If I saw painted grass here though, I would take that as a sign of a whacky seller and I would zero in on them more than the house in order to beat up the price of the property. --24.152.xxx.xx

I use weed killer and paint my grass DEAD --71.31.xx.xxx

However, I don't usually have that problem here, and I love it when I do. --76.129.xxx.xx

Would it be just as cheap to pay the difference in the tenant's utilities bill to water the grass? --76.129.xxx.xx

I see painted grass here but I guess it's not really paint, it is green-tinted fertilizer that is sprayed on by landscaping companies. Looks fine. I guess I wasn't thinking there is really PAINT for grass? Is there? --198.54.xxx.xxx

Me- I am going to market a new line of Diet Water --24.101.xxx.xxx

Saw this done once on one of those rehab TV shows. Go for it! Good idea. --172.59.xxx.xx

I've seen it done and it makes a big difference if you have dried up grass. If you just have dirt, forget it. The goal isn't to try and fool the buyer - the goal is to get the property on market quicker than watering the old grass, but showing prospective buyers what the property could look like if they water the grass. --73.2.xx.xx

Can you say cancer? And other related breathing issues. I was fined for non-compliance, ordered to install carpet grass. It told city hall that if the kids don't allow the seeds to grow and bicycle on the growing grass, it will never have a change to take hold.... --45.32.xx.xxx

This was of course for many homes in Canoga Park, West Hills, Woodland Hills and other areas nearby the west SFV. --45.32.xx.xxx

straw colored, also it takes a long time to turn its natural green in the Spring,.so some do the seasonal dye thing. I had some in one of my properties,..I had it ripped out and replaced with sod. --73.126.xx.xxx

I have seen many grasses that have the colored spray on it and under the right situation is can be beneficial, not unlike staging a home. Staging shows you the concept of how if can look. As long as your up front about it, it could be a good selling point. --174.230.xxx.xx

As a Realtor in Illinois, I should warn you that painting dead grass could get you in trouble with a buyer. If the buyer has been "tricked" into believing that the grass is alive, then there may be grounds for a lawsuit forcing the seller to compensate new owner for grass installation or seeding. Consult with your attorney, or disclose in the listing that the grass has been painted. --35.138.xxx.xxx

Uh, no. As a buyer, I would wonder what else was painted over. And do a hard pass. --67.143.xxx.xx

Definitely not. Painted grass. Thats a bit much. I'd rather see rocks or decorative stones in the yard and real tall perennial grass straregically placed throughout the yard --172.59.xx.xxx

Consult with your attorney before you paint the grass! Haha what a country. I need to go for a hike. --24.152.xxx.xx
