50 Shades of Xtreme Green Grass (What a Novel Idea)

You know how they say, "the grass is always greener on the other side?" 

Well in your case (thanks to our Xtreme Green Grass Xperts), that statement can be applied when talking about your front lawn and your backyard!

We know variety is the spice of life, which is why we have a multitude of lawn painting hues for you to choose from (we even have your favorite sports team's colors!).

Here are just 5 of our most eye-catching shades of non-toxic green dyes which can be mixed and used to paint your lawn:


1. Bermuda Bold Green
Bermuda grass is typically known for its purpose as a soft, lush turf in sports arenas as and as the ground covering for livestock to graze. What also makes it so recognizable is its deep green tones and it's tranquil-feeling texture. Transform your lawn into a field for frolicking and fun by having it painted a beautiful shade of Bermuda Bold Green!

Base colors include: deep green infused with notes of emerald throughout

2. Scenic Sunset Green
One of the most breathtaking views people will rave about until the end of time is a serene sunset... whether that blazing ball of fire is descending against an infinite body of water or is entering the horizon behind a pasture of plush greenery. With our Scenic Sunset Green lawn paint, you can turn the exteriors of your home into an equally breathtaking view of sun-kissed grass blanketing your entire property year round!

Base colors include: bright green, tones of jade green & flecks of marigold

3. Southwest Summer Green
Wanna know why birds (and tourists from the Northeast U.S.) fly south for the winter? Because the weather's better, and guess what... so is the scenery! The essence of summer is all about enjoying the fresh air outdoors, basking in the warm sun and just plain taking in the colorful landscape. If you'd like the outside of your humble abode to resemble a picture perfect scene of Southwest Summer Green even in the wintertime, our Xtreme Green Grass Xperts can help!

Base colors include: sage, flecks of bluish-gray and hints of deep green throughout

4. Tropical Trellis Green
Whether you live a stone's throw or 100 miles away from the ocean, the landscaping around your domicile can always be spruced up to remind you of that view of nature by the beach you're so fond of. Our Tropical Trellis Green lawn paint is formulated to resemble a cross between those crisp hues of seaweed in the distance and that supple scene of sage brush blowing in tune with the ocean breeze.

Base colors include: muted jade green and tones of sage throughout

5. Vibrant Vineyard Green
If you love wine, then watching the sunset on your back porch 
while gazing in awe at the grid-like rows of grapevines and sipping a big glass of Merlot may sound like a dream. 
But it doesn't have to be. The good news is, you don’t need a Napa Valley-sized estate to do just that. With our Vibrant Vineyard Green lawn paint, our Xtreme Green Grass Xperts can give you the feel of a California winery whether it’s in a suburban front lawn or the field out in the country you often refer to as your backyard. Oh, and it's much more affordable, too!

Base colors include: emerald with tones of deep green throughout

On YOUR Turf: 6 Ways to Get Ready for the Super Bowl from Xtreme Green Grass Alabama

At Xtreme Green Grass Alabama we understand what a big deal Super Bowl Sunday can be for football fans, regardless of which team you're the biggest fan of these days.

There are less than 2 weeks left until this highly anticipated game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks... so what are YOU doing to prepare (especially if everyone's watching the game at your house)?


Here are 6 wise ways our Xtreme Green Grass Xperts suggest for getting Super Bowl ready on your turf:


1. Plan which food & beverages you plan to serve, and just how many munchies you need to have on hand.

Whether it'll just be your spouse and children or a gathering the size of Seattle's entire second string, you want to make sure you have the appropriate amount of eats and drinks for your the size of your get together. If you're planning to have food catered, be sure to place your order right away to ensure they accommodate your party platter requests accordingly. If you're planning to cook, why not stock up on some items ahead of time to avoid the stress of hitting the grocery store on the same day as the Super Bowl?!

2. Tidy up your humble abode so it's in show condition for your game day guests.

Housecleaning typically isn't at the top of everyone's favorite hobbies list, but we all know it's something that definitely needs to be done every now and then. Start chipping away at the dusting and vacuuming ahead of time to avoid feeling frazzled on February 1st or better yet, hire someone who specializes in the task of tidying up so your place is in tip top shape for keeping company.

3. Decorate your digs with gung-ho game day garb.

Part of the fun of being a die-hard NFL fanatic (or even just a fair weather fan) is having a great atmosphere around you to intensify the hype. Even small decorations like football-shaped paper plates, AstroTurf-colored napkins or those obnoxious foam fingers you see on televised games can go a long way. Check with a local party supplies shop in your area for some fun tchotchkes to spruce up your Super Bowl soiree without breaking the bank!

4. Adorn yourself in football fanatic attire (even if you're impartial about who you want to win).

Whether you'd rather put on your vintage Patriots jersey or show off your Seahawks spirit in body paint alone, be sure your wardrobe for the day reflects your excitement for this big event. Don't have any apparel representing either of this year's Super Bowl competitors? Wear team colors instead to display your festive side (without spending money on a completely new outfit)!

5. Put on your game face.
No one needs to know you have no idea which two teams are battling each other in the Super Bowl this year, or that you don't even really know what exactly constitutes a first down... Just put on your "game face." By this we don't just mean applying temporary Seahawks tattoos or affixing adhesive eye black with Patriots logos to your cheeks, we just mean, put on a look of enthusiasm-- Be happy it's a Sunday and that you're not at the office. Be grateful for your friends and family who are watching the big game with you, and most of all, be ecstatic that you just get to be a fan. There's no pressure involved in watching the game as there is when you're actually playing in it!

6. Get your lawn painted and prepped for a look that's just as lush as University of Phoenix Stadium.

What can be just as nice as traveling to Glendale for the Super Bowl? Enjoying the big game from the comforts of your own home that is, especially when it's in phenomenal shape! Xtreme Green Grass lawn painting can give the exteriors of your home just the pizzazz it needs before your guests arrive. The best part? It's non-toxic, safe for children or pets and lasts up to 12 weeks (oh and it's affordable too). We can even decorate your yard with other colors of dye (besides our vivid shades of green) to give it more of a Super Bowl theme if you wish. No matter how you choose to spruce up your lawn, your home will now be game day ready from the inside out!

Hue's the Boss?! 5 Ways to Get Rid of the Winter Blues

Enduring the winter months (especially when it's cold and/or gloomy out there) can be a big challenge... 

We're trapped indoors to stay warmer, sometimes we have to stay off the roads when the weather misbehaves and we can even get stuck with the same ol' boring view, whether it's what we're watching on the tube or what we see from our windows.

At Xtreme Green Grass Alabama we've decided we're not going to allow the remainder of this season to get the best of us. Here are 5 ideas we've come up with to get rid of the winter blues right away:

1. Plan a staycation for you and your family (or just you and your loved one).
Who says you have to leave town to experience a change of scenery? Take advantage of deals you see on the internet for some weekend getaway specials or last-minute promotions to book a hotel in the historic part of your hometown (or some place outside your city which you've never truly explored before).

2. Re-visit a hobby you've not engaged in for quite some time.
Love to read paperback books while taking a bubble bath? Miss painting flower arrangements or abstract art on canvases in your garage? Take a day for yourself to do something you absolutely enjoyed doing in the past, but just haven't gotten around to doing again lately.

3. "Make it a Blockbuster Night."
Sometimes the most effective cure for a case of "the blahs" is a good dose of laughter. Peruse your On Demand movie listings or check out NetFlix to find a comedy classic or funny new release for you and your family to watch (oh, and don't forget the popcorn).

4. Try dining out at a new restaurant.
A recent study shows people tend to think food tastes much better when the meal it's shared with someone or a group of people. What better way to rid yourself of the winter blues than to research some new eateries in your area and bring someone out with you for a special night of fabulous fare & fun!

5. Add some pizzazz to that view of yours with Xtreme Green Grass lawn painting.
Did you know the colors you see can evoke certain emotions or feelings? The color green symbolizes growth as well as harmony, and has a strong association with feelings of safety. Have our Xtreme Green Grass Xperts come over to spruce up your yard and you'll be well on your way to feeling better in no time (and your great outdoors will look amazing too)!

Green is the New Black: 6 Ways to Go Green in 2015 from Your Green Green Grass Xperts

The start of a new year is always a great time to begin some new habits, kick some of our not-so-healthy vices and just plain make some much needed changes in our lives for the better. 

But how can you get started? Here are 6 super strategies from our Xtreme Green Grass Xperts for going green in 2015:

1. Recycle.
Did you know the average person generates almost 5 lbs. of trash a day, and 75% of the trash that makes up what we call "solid waste" is actually recyclable? Let's all do our part to keep Mother Earth looking as beautiful as possible. Even sorting your glass, plastic and aluminum into separate containers can before putting them out with your trash can make a HUGE difference!

2. Buy biodegradable when possible.
Between 500 billion and a trillion plastic bags are consumed each year... so the next time someone offers you a choice between paper or plastic, choose reusable instead! Also when possible, skip the Styrofoam. This lightweight form of plastic has been shown to be harmful not only to the environment, but can have some seriously

3. Conserve energy at home.
Turn off the lights. Don't leave the water running while you're brushing your teeth. Unplug appliances when they aren't in use (yes, they still consume energy even if they're not technically "on"). Efforts as little as these can go a long way over time, you'd be surprised!

4. Make your commute more efficient.
Live near one or more of your colleagues? Carpool if you can. Don't carry excess weight in your trunk to save fuel. Plan your trip across town accordingly, so you don't waste gas driving out to each of the stops on your to-do list for the day.

5. Jump on the compost bandwagon.
Not all trash really needs to "go out with the trash..." because much of it can actually be composted. In fact, businesses who diligently compost their food scraps cut down on their solid waste output by 33 to a whopping 85%! Composting at home can contribute to the reduction of solid waste, as well the improvement of your soil quality and a significant decrease in pest problems around your home.

6. Spruce up your outdoor view with lawn painting.
Lawn painting from Xtreme Green Grass Alabama not helps to protect your yard(s) from the damage of harsh weather conditions, it spruces up the exteriors of your home in a quick and affordable way. And it helps conserve water, since you won't have to water your lawn as much in between treatments. How's that for literally going green?!

Here's to going green in 2015... in more ways than one!
