Many homeowners
quate a beautiful land-cape to rolling acres ofristine lawn. Buthanges in the climatend widespread seasonalestrictions on water useach year could changehe way people thinkbout outfitting theirards.There are many rea-
ons people choose toorgo grass and opt forifferent ornamental ele-ents in their yards. Cost
s one factor. While grasseed is relatively inexpen-
ive, the upkeep, includ-ng mowing, fertilizing,e-seeding, and watering,equires a significant in-estment of both timend money. Many home-wners choose to layown sod to create aeautiful lawn, an expen-ive option for homeown-rs with vast landscapes.The environment is an-
ther reason homeown-rs look for grass alterna-ives. Grass requires a lotf upkeep, much of
hich is not environ-entally friendly. For ex-
mple, maintaining aristine lawn requires these of a gas-poweredower and oftentimes
he application of chemi-al fertilizers and pesti-ides. Seeking alterna-
tives to grass can be
friendly on both the wal-let and the environment.Grass-Free Landscap-ing AlternativesFor those who are
ready to say goodbye tograss, there are many al-ternatives.
* Ground cover:Homeowners who stilldesire the look of greencan choose among differ-ent types of ground coverthat will quickly fill in thelandscape. Clover, low-growing evergreen plantsand ivy are some of the
more popular groundcover alternatives.
* Rocks: Decorativerocks intermingled withnative plants can add di-
mension and color to theyard. Once rocks areplaced, there is little up-
keep except for pullingthe errant weeds.
* Mulch: A less expen-
sive alternative to rocks ismulch. Mulch is availablein different colors andtypes and can even becreated by a homeownerby chipping trimmedbranches from trees inthe yard. It helps lockwater into landscapingbeds, decreasing the needfor frequent watering.
* Water features:Think about installing apond in the yard that canbe bordered with stonesand mulch. This will takeup a good amount ofspace and can create anatural habitat forwildlife and even somelow-maintenance pondfish.
* Concrete or patio
stones: Although they're
not all-natural materials,patios can take up areasnormally consumed bythe lawn and create ex-pansive outdoor enter-taining areas. It will re-quire an initial invest-ment of the patio materi-al, but once installed, pa-tios don't require signifi-cant maintenance.Homeowners can offsetthe concrete jungle feel
by placing plenty of pot-
ted plants and containerfoliage around theperimeter.
* Decking: Another al-ternative to concrete andstones is a wood or com-posite material deck.Again, this structure willincrease outdoor livingspace and won't requirethe level of routine main-tenance needed to keep alush lawn.
