“This is the future of landscaping,” says ForeverLawn’s Debby Mullen, seen here getting in touch with her grass roots. Yes, she’s that Debby Mullen—the woman who married (and divorced) Dallas oilman Mike Mullen after he advertised for a wife on Oprah. She’s since moved on to greener pastures. She and business partner Tim Alexander are the sole distributors of the synthetic grass in North Texas. And while they have the expected commercial projects such as kennels, playgrounds, and sporting fields, business is also booming on the residential side. With an 8-year warranty and life expectancy at 15 to 20 years, it makes tossing out the lawn mower very appealing. Grass and installation start at $8 per square foot.
