Doesn't dry grass burn just as easily as pine straw, or maybe even quicker given it doesn't hold moisture. I am in favor of Florida native plants versus $150/month water charges to keep the lawn green. I have reduced my grass by 50% with plants and pine mulch, in an effort to reduce our annual lawn cost for fertilizer, pest control, and mowing, which were over $2000 a year.
A balance between the two is needed, as well as a balance of ones opinions over another's. Both parties could have valid opinions, and in the free world are allowed to have equal say.
