    Turf Talk: Lawn Care and Alternatives for Florida

    A lush lawn can be an appealing element in the home landscape and provides many important benefits, but turfgrass can require a lot of maintenance, with frequent watering and applications of fertilizer or pesticides. There are many alternatives that can still offer green coverage at the ground level while providing greater benefits to the local wildlife.
