Xeriscaping your lawn

Grass is a popular covering for lawns across the Florida area, and many homeowners enjoy having a lush, green lawn for their kids and pets to run around in. However, grass does have its downsides. Perhaps the most significant downside involves the regular care and maintenance it requires. With the warm climate in Florida, mowing, trimming and edging are year-round maintenance tasks that you may find yourself performing every week or two. In addition, grass requires you to water and fertilize it regularly. Even after you take the best care of your yard, however, you may find that it becomes diseased and may require re-sodding. This is yet another experience associated with having a grass lawn.

Clearly, grass is a beautiful material to use on your yard, but it may not be the best choice available. Consider how you can use natural rock on your property for xeriscaping as an alternative to grass. Xeriscaping can eliminate the need to mow, weed eat and trim your yard on a regular basis, you may find yourself with several free hours every week as a result of eliminating this chore from your life. In addition, you will not need to contend with the time or expense associated with watering and fertilizing your yard when you choose xeriscaping over grass.

There are several beautiful materials that you can use to create a gorgeous look on your property. Xeriscaping, for example, may be completed with the use of granite stones, limerock stones, bank run shell, washed shell and other materials.
