A recent trend in Lawn care is low-maintenance lawns. While traditional lawns consist of turfgrasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass, low-maintenance lawns consist of other species. Choosing a low-maintenance lawn can offer many advantages, including:  
1) Reduced air and noise pollution. Traditional grasses require mowers and other heavy equipment which is loud and which emits fumes.
2) Reduced water use. Most traditional lawns need to be watered regularly in the summer. For this reason, many cities restrict water use in the summer. Increased water use in the summer can lead to higher water costs and can affect fish species and other freshwater life. Low-maintenance lawns require less water and are therefore gentler on the environment.
3) Reduce pollution. Many homeowners use pesticides and fertilizers to manicure their lawns. However, these chemicals can leach into waterways and may be less than healthy for pets and children playing on grass. Continued use of fertilizers and pesticides can alos affect the health and fertility of the soil. Low-maintenance lawns do not require fertilizer or pesticides and therefore help reduce pollution.
4) Save time and money. Traditional lawns require lots of time because homeowners need to mow, fertilize, control pests, water, and otherwise maintain their lawns. Most homeowners either hire a grounds care company or buy lawn maintenance equipment to take care of their lawns, and this can represent a significant investment.
Low-maintenance lawns are usually planted with tough, drought-resistant, slow-growing and low-lying turfgrasses, fescues, and broadleaf plants such as clover. These require little or no mowing, resist disease, and require less maintenance. However, these low-maintenance lawns often do not have the uniform and even look of a traditional lawn, so some adjustment is necessary.
Some low-maintenance lawns are actually not lawns at all. Instead, homeowners hire Landscaping services to create gardens, rock gardens, or other spaces that may require less maintenance and fewer chemicals than a traditional lawn. A quality commercial grounds care or residential grounds care company can help you find a solution that does not require many tedious hours of mowing and lawn care.
