5 Alternatives to a Traditional Lawn. Tired of mowing yet? Unless you're watching this in the dead of winter, the answer is probably yes. Your lawn can be a thing of beauty, but oh the work it takes to keep the turf looking its best--weeding, watering, mowing, raking. Lawns can be expensive too, from sod installation to professional maintenance to a sprinkler system to keep it green.
Add to that the environmental concerns that keeping a pristine lawn raises. In areas where drought is a persistent issue, lawns soak up too much precious water. They often require harsh chemical fertilizers that can seep into the water table, and they rob birds and other animals of the natural cover they use as habitat.
For these reasons, many homeowners have searched for alternatives to the traditional lawn. If you're one of those who are ready to tear out your turf, here are five ideas you might consider:
1. Cottage Garden
2. Cacti and Succulents Garden
3. Japanese Garden
4. Native Wildflowers
5. Vegetable Garden
If you've had it with your lawn, there's no reason you need to keep it one season longer. There are many alternatives to the traditional lawn that are more attractive, less work, less expense, and friendlier to the environment. So go ahead, kick the mower to the curb and join the many happy gardeners who have turfed out their turf.
