Rethinking the Front Lawn.

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself where it's written that a front yard has to be devoted to mainly lawn?   

Keeping lawn looking good means engaging in a costly, tedious, and environmentally un-friendly battle with grubs, fertilizers, lawnmowers, noise, and a weekly maintenance grind. 

Why not reduce or eliminate that high cost green carpet and catch the popular wave of establishing a full front garden instead!  Compared to turf, a well designed front garden will virtually look after itself compared to the time and effort a lawn needs.
