Grass lawns are all the rage, and no wonder, having a nice green grass lawn can turn up the curb appeal of your property. But sod can be expensive and time-consuming to replace. So, if you're thinking about replacing your grass, consider these five alternative sod replacement options:
Decorative Stones
You can also add decorative stones to your lawn. There are many different types of decorative stones that you could use. These stones can make your yard look much more beautiful than before, and they are easy to keep up with.
Artificial Grass
Artificial turf is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to natural grass. This is a great replacement that can be easily installed in your backyard's Dirt & Turf. However, it does require some upfront costs for installation and upkeep. However, if you're looking for an environmentally-friendly option that won't use up your water supply, this might be worth considering.
Clover
Although it's commonly used as a green cover crop to fix nitrogen in the soil, clover can also be an excellent choice for environmentally friendly landscaping. Clover is an excellent plant for weed suppression, enrichment, and aeration with a thick root system that aerates the soil.
Clover needs to be watered twice a day when it is newly planted, but it requires little to no watering once it has established itself. An easy-to-plant ground cover that requires no fertilizer or mowing for year-round greenery, this is an excellent alternative for your garden.
Creeping Thyme
These are a great alternative because they don't require mowing and spread spontaneously. Embankments along roadways and river banks and narrow strips of land along the driveway are ideal locations for these mowers.
Until your creeping thyme is well-established, you'll need to weed and mulch it, but a perennial variety will quickly choke out the weeds. Use an edge barrier to keep the plants in the intended region from escaping.
Wildflowers
Wildflowers are a great alternative to sod if you want an attractive yard without spending money on new plants or working too hard to maintain them! The best part is that they're low maintenance—just let nature do its thing.
Conclusion
The goal with these five sod alternatives isn't to replace your grass entirely. Instead, it's to offer you an alternative that can help you decide whether succulents and other ornamental plants are a fit for your yard or if you should stick with traditional turf. These plants could become great conversation starters about all things green, if nothing else.
