We've already done our whole front yard in native plants, but we still have grass in the back, which is struggling because we live in CO and Kentucky bluegrass was never meant to grow in a desert with clay soil. My mom finally said I can have most/all of it removed and plant a native grass mix with clover next year. I'm so happy.
I mean, don't remove it...
Just start using that stuff for bare spots. Plants spread on their own bro, you just got to establish a population first. Maybe it'll cross pollinate and you'll get some crazy new bluegrass that's hardy.
Or it just gets replaced.
Let nature do it's thing.
Eh, it was already a victory getting my mom to agree to this at all. She wouldn't be able to handle the "chaos" of it happening gradually. She's extremely anxious about anything she perceives as messy (and that would definitely meet her criteria), and we have a non-profit here that removes lawns pretty inexpensively, so I'm taking my wins where I can get them and doing it in a way that won't stress her out more.
Right, there's nothing wrong with grass itself as a member of a diverse lawn, it's making it the only plant around that hurts everything else. Let the various species do a natural battle of survival and enjoy the eclectic results, as well as the wildlife it invites that you don't see on these "perfect" grass lawns.
Where I live invasive Tree of Heaven will take over in no time. Nature needs some help!
Agreed. So much easier to overseed clovers, other forbs and grasses. That is what I have been doing in my lawn and its so easy
