Also, 100% stone yards = the need for weedkillers = really REALLY bad for nature.

On the other hand, sod is a waste of space, especially in Central Florida where you can't even have real actual grass. Better to have a wildscape than either a "lawn" or rockbeds.
South of Warn Sprrings, it's mostly pasture land full of future McDonalds hamburgers that is being replaced with landscaped open areas and lakes drawing all forms of wildlife.

Extensive natural areas are Also being set aside.
