Some homeowners are in love with their grassy lawns. Getting a perfectly manicured area of grass with little to no weeds and an even, striped cut brings many folks a great deal of pride.
Low Maintenance
This requires a lot of upkeep, though; sometimes multiple hours a week. Between fertilizer and herbicide applications, mowing, and all the maintenance required for a lawn mower (oil changes, sharpening blades, and checking that the tire pressure is even to insure a level cut), a lot of time goes into maintaining a traditional lawn. With a low-maintenance, no-mow hardscape option like a patio or walkway, you are able to get back some of that precious time, allowing you to enjoy your yard more.
After initial installation of your hardscaping, more hardscape and less grass will equal less cost. Maintaining grass isn’t always cheap. Paying someone to mow your lawn, or paying for the fuel required to mow your lawn, can add up quickly. Add in fertilizers and other grass enhancers, and you can wind up spending a small fortune each growing season.
