Anyone go all native? [View all]

Last edited Tue Jan 16, 2018, 10:03 PM - Edit history (2)

I'm sick of having a lawn. I want to transition to native grasses and other native plants. I had to have a maple tree cut down and now have a pretty empty yard. I do have a small section of natives, but I want a lot more. I also don't want to dig up all the turf and do it all at once. I am contemplating hiring a consultant he's a bit pricy though and even more for a plan. I don't have a privacy fence either. I'm in the Midwest. Sorry for the rambling post.

Suggestions?

On a side note, if you have never seen a rattlesnake master in bloom, check it out. Mine finally "bloomed" this year. On edit, trying to post a pic of my Rattlesnake Master from the past summer.




Peace
