A lush green lawn is hard to achieve, it takes time if starting from seed or is an entire investment if you pay for sod to be laid down. Once established, keeping your lawn green and healthy takes a lot of work, you need to fertilize it, keep it watered, and protect it from harmful pests and diseases.

Even if you take all the right steps to making sure your lawn stays green and healthy it can still be brown and crunch throughout, leaving you in a state of confusion. Thsi primarily is caused by a thatch build up, or excess shavings that are not able to biodegrade quick enough, blocking the light from your grass.

Along with it killing your grass the extra shavings that comes from moving the lawn are nasty and if you have kids, summertime grass shavings and wet pool feet don’t mix too well.

Alternative to a Grass Lawn

Lawns take a lot of maintenance to care for, they look great, and sure help sequester carbon, but they aren’t necessarily beneficial for the environment, especially with all the chemicals people use to keep weeds out that cause harm to pollinators and organisms in the soil.

We have seen clover lawns booming in recent years which is a great option. They are more heat, drought, and nutrient tolerant, which requires less watering and maintenance. Clover is beneficial to the environment as it creates healthy soil structure, is nitrogen fixing, and attracts pollinators with its small flowers. Being pet and kid safe too it boots numerous benefits while also looking beautiful.
