If you’ve spent any time in the suburbs of North America you’ve probably marveled at some immaculate and lush green lawns at some point. But between individu...
Depends what you’re going for, but the most environmentally beneficial would be a mix of native wildflowers, shrubs, and trees. A pure clover lawn is still a monoculture like a grass lawn so it’s not as good for pollinators.
I don’t weed or fertilize, and basically let whatever can grow there grow. It’s a lot of mixed grass species and a ton of clover, dandelions, and some kind of small blue flower that hugs the ground.
People compliment me on it because it looks nice and healthy all year.

Yep I have the same belief - if it wants to grow I’ll let it grow, I do not use any “weed-n-feed” products. I only do two main things:
Lime in the fall to sweeten up the soil
Organic fertilizer in the early spring.
I let anything grow that wants to grow in the fields, and let bigger stuff grow at the edges of the property.
Same!
