Lawn Alternatives

Traditional lawns can be resource-intensive, requiring frequent mowing, watering, and chemical treatments. Converting to a lower-maintenance alternative can save time, reduce costs, and support local wildlife.

How to Transition to a Low-Maintenance Landscape:

• Replace turf gradually – Start with a small section of lawn and expand over time.
• Choose drought-tolerant groundcovers – Clover, creeping thyme, and native grasses require less water and mowing.
• Incorporate meadows or prairie plantings – Mix wildflowers and native grasses for a natural look with ecological benefits.
• Use permeable pathways – Replace concrete with gravel, stepping stones, or mulch to improve drainage.
• Practice no-mow areas – Let sections of your yard grow naturally to support pollinators and soil health.
