Sometimes, planning your yard can be difficult. You maybe don’t have enough of the lawn area, you might be struggling to keep your lawn beautiful, or you just stop thinking about it when you remember all the work it takes to maintain a beautiful yard.
Rosehill Gardens can help you get a head start on designing the perfect yard for entertaining friends and enjoying the warm weather with these alternatives to traditional green lawn:
- If you’re struggling to grow a lawn, consider designing your yard to reflect the style and architecture of your home; remove the lawn from small areas and use low-maintenance, ground-covering plants.
- If mowing the lawn is more of an issue than growing it, use alternatives, such as alyssum, clover, ornamental grasses, and shrub beds. All of these can cover large spans of ground, but you may need an edge barrier to contain them.

However, reduced mowing duty and imaginative landscape design options are not the only perks of having a non-traditional lawn. Traditional lawns can actually be a drain on water resources, as well as a high-maintenance feature when you have to keep on top of weeds.
