At high noon in a Jacksonville July, the sun stands nearly straight overhead, the ground is hot enough to feel through your shoes, and in the deep shade along the back fence some soil simply will not grow grass. SYNLawn Jacksonville works with synthetic grass, a different kind of green for a city where natural turf grows nearly all year and asks to be cut almost as often. It fits the places a lawn has trouble with: the bare strip beside the house, the shady corner, the play area or patio edge that takes foot traffic every day. Laid well, it turns those spots into one continuous green that reads as part of the yard rather than a patch. A backyard that stays green at every hour holds a cheerful surprise, even in the blaze of a July afternoon with no mower anywhere in sight.
