"Lawn" AKA "Place to throw money"
Since I asked for input about replacing our lawn with other alternatives, I was contacted by a landscaper. He said he has replaced sod with water conserving landscaping especially using few plants and many types of rocks, pebbles, etc.
I wrote to the ARC attaching photos I'd found on the internet, all featuring sand, rocks, grasses, trees, and received a notice that my examples would not pass muster because "you will need to add plants" Huh? I DID show plants. So, I am stuck between a rock (had to go there) and a hard place. The landscaper is going to give me his take on my ideas, along with a price. We are not ready to undergo any expense at the moment, I simply wanted to determine the what, and why's of the project. I have received conflicting information. I intend to leave SOME grass, just not much. Appreciate more input. Sandra
