If you’ve followed the links on my WowOWow.com article - "Coming soon: The Death of the Great American Lawn" – welcome and look around. For more articles about lawn, check out the categories "Lawn" and "Lawn Substitutes" over in the right.
Then on my website there’s a whole section called Lawn Reduction and Lawn Substitutes, with examples from across the U.S.
Next up from me on WowOWow I’ll be blogging about solutions – better lawn species, better ways to care for lawn, and alternatives to lawn altogether – and where to find them. And where to find them will be a new website that’’s launching next month. It’s the combined effort of Paul Tukey, Ginny Stibolt, Susan Morrison, Tom Christopher, Evelyn Hadden, Billy Goodnick, Shirley Bovshow, a movie producer/environmental activist named Tom Engelman, and yours truly.

As much as I love my grass
I would really love to see some suitable substitutes!
I would love to see affordable native substitutes and have them more readily available~~gail
All great looking substitutes and yours is looking quite fine. If only more people weren’t in search of the ‘perfect’ lawn. Imperfect turf really works quite perfectly.
