A Scarborough family said they were shocked to get a notice from the City of Toronto that the artificial grass in their backyard, including a putting green, will have to be ripped out.
Cedo Trivanovic is an avid golfer and installed the synthetic grass in his backyard four years ago. As much as he and his family enjoy golf, he said, at the time, they also decided to install the fake grass because it was easier for his mother-in-law to enjoy the backyard.
Trivanovic said he demonstrated this for a Toronto bylaw officer and proved he could put"water anywhere here, and it drains away." However, the City of Toronto said artificial turf does not count towards soft landscaping, which is"soil or mulch suitable for trees, shrubs, flowers and plants, enhance biodiversity, cool the air, absorb rainwater and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere."
