Alternatives to a grass lawn

19 min • 5 mars 2024

What alternatives are there to the classic, Australian lawn?

Synthetic? Elisabeth is not a fan, will Keith convince her that they have a place?

Before considering an alternative, consider a few elements - amount of sun, foot traffic, water conditions etc
Granitic sand - can be a great alternative for areas between plants, border beds or for paths.
Mulch - Keith recommends 10mm pine bark
Looking for a live lawn alternative?
- Herbaceous alternatives include: Creeping thyme, chamomile, prostate rosemary, round baby pigface, pennyroyal,
- Other plants that are suitable lawn alternatives - baby sunrose, zoysia tenuifolia, pratia pedunculata
- Native options include dichondra (either repens or silver falls variety) or native violets
- Consider establishing a Wildflower Meadow as we explored in an episode in October 2023 (listen now Apple Podcasts or Spotify)
Stepping stones will help keep foot traffic down to reduce damage to your lawn alternative
