Get rid of the large swaths of green fucking grass, which completely useless when one cuts it down. Let the Dandy Lions grow like we do in Europe and plant more native flowers too.

Clover. Clover is great:

  • Lush and green
  • Holds down soil we
  • Soft to walk on
  • Needs less water than grass
  • Needs less mowing
  • Bees love it

+1 for clover. I "accidentally" spilled some clover seed outside our place (bugger off HOA), and it's slowly overtaking the grass they planted.

I have a native meadow lawn and it's awesome. Zero maintenance, barely any watering (just peak dry season) and incredibly beautiful. The ecosystem takes care of itself as long as you don't buff one side by accident.

No, Dandy Lions crowd out native North American species and result in less diverse ecosystems, which is bad.
