Langford city council will soon vote on whether to keep installing artificial turf along city boulevards, or go back to using sod.

Langford city council will soon vote on whether to keep installing artificial turf along city boulevards, or go back to using sod.

Some think installing artificial turf along several of Langford’s boulevards was a brilliant idea.

"I think it’s the greatest thing ever invented for boulevards," said resident John Meredith.

Joan Traversy also thinks it looks good.

"I think it looks better than dead grass in the middle of summer," said Traversy.

But others believe it looks a bit tacky.

"It just looks fake," said Dylan Ringma. "You can tell it’s turf."
