There are many great ways to carve our your lawn and replace it with colorful, even useful, low-maintenance alternatives, such as:
- hearty ground covers
- native plants
- ornamental grasses or no mow grasses
- shrubs
- a micro meadow to attract butterflies
- walkways or stepping stones
- a gathering space like a fire pit or small patio
- xeriscaping, which is much more than rock gardens with cactus
