Want to replace your grass lawn? Substitutes for an all-grass lawn offer water savings, as drought-resistant plants need less water while reducing the need for chemicals, and promoting a healthier environment for you and wildlife. Replacing turf boosts soil health, lowers maintenance costs, and creates a more diverse, attractive landscape.

Select your planting site:

Choose an area with sun (for Flowering Grass Alternative) or partial sun (for EcoEase Microclover & Fescue), moist soil conditions, and a water source. Once established, most mixes typically become more drought-tolerant over time.

Prep your soil:

Don't skip this important step! Remove weeds and loosen the top ½-1 inches of soil. This will allow seeds to access necessary nutrients, sunlight, and water without being out-competed by weeds.

Sow your seeds:

You can broadcast seeds by hand or with a rotary spreader, making sure to spread evenly. Lightly rake or roll seeds into the soil, no more than ½ inch to protect from birds and wind. The key is to have good seed-to-soil contact.
