What is the best ground cover instead of grass?
Lawn alternatives and hardy groundcovers use less water than a traditional lawn, attract pollinators, benefit insects and songbirds, create year-round interest and support a lower maintenance gardening approach. Examples of suitable species include microclover, yarrow, creeping thyme and fescue grasses. For a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant lawn, consider alternatives like Kurapia or native grasses such as Native Bentgrass™. Kurapia is a ground cover sod that uses up to 60% less water than traditional turf and requires minimal upkeep, making it suitable for light traffic areas.
