Sod Lawns

GREEN SPACE

While we usually discourage plants that create a monoculture, such as lawns, we understand that there are some challenges that are just best served with a green space. Lawns, when they are properly managed using high mowing and organic practices, can provide open spaces for children and animals to play, places to entertain, and places to just lounge in the sun. They are also an alternative to impervious surfaces such as concrete. We encourage keeping lawn space to a minimum, using a push mower, using slow release organic fertilizer, and using techniques such as mulching with cuttings and mowing high in order to reduce the need for fertilizer.

A lawn is nature under totalitarian rule. – Michael Pollan
