Just thought of something..artificial grass hot right now. Costco sells it so it must be good and/or popular. It comes in 1x15 sections, for $30+. I saw some in the store and it looked pretty natural. All that's needed is to hose it down every so often. It would solve the problem, but not be permanent. Hmmm.....
