Why grassless?
So, why should you go grassless? Having a grassless backyard does not mean that it will look empty. Probably the wide-spread image of a backyard is one with freshly cut lawn. On the other hand, there are so many reasons why you should avoid having grass in your backyard. First, it takes time and effort to maintain your green grass. It needs to be watered and mowed. This says it all, the grass is not for busy people. Also, here is the climate. If you live in a climate with drought periods, then it is very likely that your grass will not survive.

In times when water is a precious resource, it is not preferable to waste it on grass that by the way requires so much of it.
However, grass proves to be a waste of time, effort and water. So, what should you do to make your backyard look perfect?
