Lawns from the Wild

IN FROM THE WILD

Many amazing native species have been “rediscovered” through our restoration efforts, after their natural ranges diminished due to farming and urban sprawl. We’ve taken the best, grown them, tested them, and tested them again to be confident that they will succeed in a wide range of home landscapes.

EARLY SUCCESSION

Our native grass and flower lawn species would have normally colonized a newly exposed, sunny or even shady site (like a lawn area) but have been pushed out by generations of development. These species often set the foundation for larger flowering species, particularly on the edges, to take hold and thrive. This is what promotes the rediversification of habitats.

WHY MOW?

Technically, your new lawn doesn’t need mowing to thrive. But mowing occasionally mimics the browsing of herbivores, which keeps tree and shrub seedlings from becoming established. Plus, mowing can help make your lawn look like your neighbor’s lawn—for when you have in-laws over for a barbeque.
