Zeroscaping – A Good Idea Gone Bad?
With all of the talk these days about climate change, global warming, and droughts, many people are looking at ways that they can help the environment and conserve our precious natural resources. Especially in drought stricken areas, homeowners are looking at their lawns, yards, and gardens in a whole new way. No longer are they competing to see who can have the biggest, greenest lawn on the block; now the new trend is to see who can have the least amount of grass, most rocks, and save the most water.
On the surface, I support this trend. I think taking out unnecessary grass and plants that require a ton of water is a good thing. But maybe I am just a little old fashioned—I like the way a nice green grass lawn looks! I really am not a fan of the yards that are just plain rocks or gravel strewn about with no care for how it looks. The homes that I think look the best have a good mix of colors, plants, and yes, even a little grass thrown in there for good measure. And if it is the new fake grass or a native grass that doesn’t need a lot of water, then that is just fine with me. But some of my best memories of being a child were playing out in the back yard on the lush grass. I just don’t think I will ever be able to give that up! What do you think? Can you live in a house with no grass at all? Are you a fan of the rock/surface of mars look?
