FIVE LOWMAINTENANCE LAWN ALTERNATIVES There’s a reason why traditional grass lawns are so popular. They feel great under our feet and – if well maintained – look beautiful. But that’s the key – maintenance. Looking for a still beautiful, but less time-consuming lawn alternative? Here are five options! 1. Ornamental grass. Drought-resistant and low-maintenance, ornamental grasses are pretty and easy. Pretty much the opposite of a traditional lawn. 2. Moss. One of the easiest lawns out there. You don’t have to mow it or water it and moss loves shady areas, where conventional grass may not want to grow. 3. Red creeping thyme. A beautiful alternative to grass, red creeping thyme forms a dense mat that can be walked on. 4. Flower bed. If you have a smaller yard, you may want to convert the entire area into a flower bed. The key is to plant native varieties and use lots of low crawling plants so you don’t have to spend all your time weeding. 5. Clover. An extremely affordable option that also acts as a soil conditioner. Clover lawns do well in poor soil, so if you have trouble growing traditional grass, clover may be your best bet.
