Lawn Alternatives
KILL YOUR LAWN! Plant these low-maintenance alternatives to traditional turf. These plants require little or no mowing, watering, or fertilizing while supporting pollinators and local ecosystems. Trade your monoculture ecological dead zone for a living, breathing landscape. Unfortunately, you can't play soccer or set-off fireworks on these plants, but many will tolerate light foot traffic like a jaunt to the mailbox.
