Unlawning Your Home Landscape


In recent years, the concept of "un-lawning" the home landscape has gained significant traction as homeowners seek more sustainable, environmentally-friendly landscaping alternatives. 

Traditional monoculture lawns demand significantly more water, fertilizer, and pesticides than more natural landscapes; leading many to consider transitioning to a blend of fine fescues, native forbs, low-growing legumes, and native grasses. 

Fine fescues are low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and thrive in various soil conditions, requiring less water and fertilizer.

Native forbs like Western Yarrow attract pollinators and are resilient to local pests, improving soil structure.

Low-growing legumes such as White Dutch clover enrich the soil by fixing nitrogen and providing food for pollinators.

Native grasses like Blue grama and Buffalograss require minimal care, offer seasonal interest, and help prevent erosion.

Careful planning is essential for transitioning to an un-lawned yard, considering soil type, sunlight, and maintenance preferences to create the eco-friendly landscape that is right for you.
