Green lawn, red tape; Salt Lake man fights to keep his artificial turf

Dave and Dujanovic

A Salt Lake City resident thought he was doing his part when he replaced his front lawn with water-saving artificial grass.

Tony Hughes, who uses a wheelchair, says the turf has the additional benefit of allowing him to navigate his own front yard. D2 speak with KSL Reporter Sloane Schrage, who worked on the story, about the details, and hear from listeners with their thoughts on yard regulation.
