A green grass covered yard contributes to the curb appeal but lush lawns come with a big price tag, especially if you consider the care and maintenance costs too. Think of the Saturdays you will have to spend mowing, edging, aerating and watering. Then there is an environmental standpoint with green yards, some lawn pesticides or herbicides can harm our health, and have been linked to cancer, reproductive defects or kidney damage. Now consider the high water requirements for natural grass lawns too. The Southeast and Florida state have been experiencing a dry spell, which means severe water restrictions, specifically for lawns too.
No wonder then that proactive homeowners have been replacing conventional grass lawns with low-water & easy maintenance landscaping alternatives that are better for the environment and cheaper on the wallet.
