Tired of Mowing Your Grass? Check Out These Four Yard Alternatives
Taking care of your lawn is hard work. Between mowing your lawn, pulling weeds, trimming the hedges, and raking grass clippings, lawn maintenance takes up a significant amount of time when you could be having fun. So why mow your lawn at all?
We at C&C Courts are big fans of no-mow yards. They’re much easier to maintain, and you have more time to do the things you love. Keep reading for our top four no-mow yard alternatives.
1. Rock On with a Rock Garden
A cool way to avoid lawn maintenance is to build a rock garden in your yard. Rock gardens are built with various rocks and plants native to the area, so they don’t require constant maintenance and care.
With different colored rocks, you can create inspiring patterns and designs, and native species plants are better for the environment and the local wildlife. With a rock garden, you can spend less time weeding and mowing and more time doing something fun.
2. Low Maintenance Ground Covers
Another way to avoid a large amount of lawn maintenance is to replace your lawn with low-maintenance ground covers. Some types of ground covers include micro-clover, creeping red fescue, sedges, and white clover.
Your lawn will still be green but will require a lot less water and work. You may still have to cut your lawn every now and again, but not as often as regular grass lawns.
3. Skip the Grass with Artificial Turf
Why even bother with real grass at all? Artificial turf has come a long way in recent years in terms of quality and looks. You’ll be surprised how lush and green your lawn will look with zero effort.
You don’t have to mow or water your turf lawn, and you never have to fertilize it to give it a beautiful green color. If you decide to install artificial turf, C&C Courts can help you incorporate your very own putting green. Imagine being able to work on your short game in your own backyard with a customized putting green whenever you want!
