chuckinca, thank you for putting it in the most realistic
simple terms. "trying to grow grass on a sand dune can get pricey"....says it all.
When one contemplates:
..the watering required (thousands of gallons per month..$$$)
..the monthly fertilzing it takes because sand has no nutrients to grow grass $$$
..the watering system maintenance replacing sprinkler heads and water valves $$$
..the weekly mowing/edging/trimming $$$
..etc $$$
I understand all the above and have done it for years in areas where grass does grow naturally with significantly less of any or all the above.
There are alternatives to grass, that make a property look just as elegant as the (northern type) manicured lawn. And that is what I am pursuing.
I may even have a little sign put in the front bed...please enjoy my alternative to growing grass on a sand dune!!!!
