Less Turf = Greener Landscapes

- In light of environmental challenges including climate change, water restrictions and decreased wildlife habitat it is more important than ever that we reexamine the plants used in our home landscapes. Removing some or all turf and adding native and adapted plants can greatly increase sustainability and provide food and shelter for pollinators and other small wildlife.
Denver Botanic Gardens' horticulturists share more about this topic and provide tips for transforming your landscape in manageable ways.

So well spoken by all!
Thanks for watching!
I totally agree.
Do you have any demonstration gardens out near places like yoder or ellicott? I'd love to see some successful gardens out here in the plains where the tumbleweeds are.
When replacing lawn with natives, do you simply plant the natives directly in the dirt or do you need to baby them? Lots of clay and sand at my place..
I am working on transforming my front yard in Longmont.
I put in a rock garden area and planted with succulents and I am now getting ready to put in a pea gravel walkway.
Just curious if I need to do a base layer and if so what is best to use or can I put down a layer of pea gravel, compact it, lay some weed fabric down and then finish with more pea gravel.
Appreciate any advice you can offer.
Hi! That's great that you are replacing turf with low-water gardens! We don't provide advice on hardscape design but you will likely need to stabilize the path with a base material and tamping before you lay the top surface material. You find some great tips and resources on RUclips from landscape designers and DIYers. Best of luck with your garden transformation!
