Seattle Replanting with Native Grasses

In Seattle, many homeowners are facing the challenge of maintaining their lawns while promoting eco-friendliness and sustainability. Traditional grass lawns often require extensive water, fertilizer, and maintenance, which can lead to high costs and environmental issues. A simple solution is to replant with native grasses, which are well-adapted to the local climate and soil conditions. This transition not only enhances curb appeal but also increases safety, reduces maintenance needs, and supports local ecosystems.
