Landscape Network Evolving Away from Green Lawns with Lawn-Free Landscaping

January 31, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Trend emerging toward lawn-free landscaping as company highlights six lawnless landscape design projects

A new revolution in landscape design, lawn free landscaping is making a growing appearance across the country. The Landscaping Network features six new projects featuring a lawn-free design style for both front and backyards.

The growing interest in eco-friendly, sustainable landscape design has opened the door to new landscaping techniques and lawn alternatives.

Covering six landscape design styles, the company’s website features projects from around the country that have taken both front and backyard landscapes, and made them lawn free environments. Projects feature a country courtyard, a colorful desert garden, a family oriented backyard, a Zen garden, a modern coastal landscape and a front yard meadow.

Browse through each project for the inside scoop on project details, photos and an in-depth look at how each project was planned and executed to meet the homeowner’s needs.

Going lawn free is not the only way to design sustainably, visit the site’s information on sustainable landscapes for more information on lawn free landscaping and other ecological landscape design ideas for residential spaces.

This is exciting to see yards that don’t require polluting 2-cycle lawnmowers. We see this as an evolution in taste and environmental stewardship.
