E
ven with the recent
rain, no one really
knows what the future
holds in terms of the
drought and rising water
prices. One way to have a
green lawn, save time and
money is to install artificial
grass. California Creative Sur-
faces offers “The Next Gener-
ation in Artificial Turf,” by
CalGrass.
California Creative Surfaces
wants to help during this time
of water conservation necessi-
ty. They are currently offering
up to $1,000 in rebates to
homeowners attending this
year’s Home & Landscape
Expo who install artificial grass
in their front or backyards.
There are many reasons why
CalGrass is the smart way to
go:
A
Requires no water, chemicals
or fertilizer
A
Safe for pets
A
Cooler than other artificial
grass products
A
100 percent recyclable
A
100 percent permeable and
lead-free
A
Very low maintenance; no
mowing
A
Made in the USA
From pet-friendly products
to sport and playground prod-
ucts, CalGrass has a large
variety of Synthetic Turf op-
tions available. If you give it a
touch, you’ll be hard-pressed
to tell the difference from real
grass. And for you golfers,
CalGrass offers a perfectly
crafted turf to practice your
short game at home with your
own custom putting green.
California Creative Surfaces
has incredible financing op-
tions available for homeown-
ers. They are one of the pre-
ferred contractors able to offer
financing through the Ygrene
Works, mPOWER and HERO
programs. These programs
enable financing of water
saving home upgrades to be
repaid through the home-
owners’ property tax bill. Cali-
fornia Creative Surfaces also
provides special 12-month, 0
percent financing programs
and other rebates.
In addition to superior artifi-
cial grass, California Creative
Surfaces offers all landscape
related services. If you can
dream it, they can do it! Esti-
mates are always free, so be
sure to see their display in the
Pavilion Building at this week-
end’s Expo.

P
remier Pools & Spas is
celebrating 28 years of
quality swimming pool
construction. They have
built more pools in Sacramento
than the competition and they look
forward to working with you this
year. Team up with one of their
design consultants to make your
backyard dreams come true. You
are guaranteed to find professional,
reliable and quality construction.
Premier Pools & Spas is excited to
participate in Northern California’s
largest Home & Landscape Expo.
They have experts ready to help you
build the backyard swimming pool
of your dreams. Don’t wait for the
summer heat, build your pool now
and be ready to swim on the first
80-degree day. A swimming pool
uses less water than typical land-
scaping and MUCH less water than
grass. On average you will save
3,750 gallons of water the first year
you build a pool. Your savings in
subsequent years will be 18,000
gallons annually.
Stop by their large showcase
garden display during the Home &
Landscape Expo in the Pavilion
Building to learn more about spe-
cial home show savings and to meet
with your new pool designer.

I
f you’re already retired
or planning to retire
soon, chances are
you’ve been thinking
about all the great things
you’re going to do. Perhaps
a trip to Europe, cooking
classes, or buying a brand
new boat or sewing ma-
chine that you’ve been
dreaming about. And if
you’re like many home-
owners, you want to enjoy
your retirement in the
luxury and comfort of your
own home. Accordingly,
you may have great dreams
about remodeling your
kitchen, bathroom, and
other rooms in your house.
You may even be thinking
about what you can do to
make your home meet
your future needs.
“Retirement is the time
that many homeowners are
thinking about how their
home will meet their needs
now, as well as in the fu-
ture,” says Kathe Russell,
designer and co-owner of
DreamBuilders Home
Remodeling. Russell, who
is a Certified Aging in
Place Specialist by the
National Association of
Home Builders, emphasiz-
es the importance of in-
corporating universal de-
sign into remodeling pro-
jects for homeowners of
retirement age. Russell
explains that universal
design is about making the
space accessible to people
of all ages and abilities.
She explains, “Universal
design that is done well
can be luxurious and com-
fortable — it doesn’t have
to look institutional. That’s
what we do for our clients
here at DreamBuilders.”
Visit the DreamBuilders
Home Remodeling booth
at this weekend’s Expo to
learn more about universal
design and how it could
benefit you. Be sure to
check the workshop sched-
ule and join designer
Kathe Russell and contrac-

Your Retirement Years”
