Why Native Grass

At present almost all common lawn grasses used in USA are non-native (tropical) and require more water, fertilizer, weed killers and heavy maintenance, posing environmental challenges. The most popular grasses such as Kentucky Blue grass, Bermuda, St. Augustine and Zoysia are all non-native to USA.

 Native grasses lawns thrive in local conditions, needing less water and maintenance while supporting local ecosystems with habitat and food. 

Polyculture grass lawns, echoing nature's diversity, thrive with multiple grass species, ensuring stability and resilience. Monoculture lawns, confined to one grass type, are vulnerable to pests and nutrient depletion, lacking the natural balance of diverse landscapes.

By integrating various grass varieties, polyculture lawns enrich soil health, reducing the need for chemicals and fostering a biodiverse habitat.

Nativescape grass seeds offer a polyculture blend of visually similar grass types tailored to your region, each supporting the other without competition.

 Switching to native grass could save the average American homeowner about $2000 annually in lawn maintenance costs. 

For city parks and ranches ranging from 5 to 10 acres, savings could amount to about $15,000 to $30,000 annually.
