Input: backyard mulching

I'd kill those plants in a heartbeat.

No lie! Me too! But think of how much easier you and I will have it just having to hose off our fake plants every once in a while.

Maya killed what was left of the plants I'd managed to salvage (after Cody killed the rest earlier this summer ), so I'm thinking fake plants are definitely in order next year.

What would be the good and bad to mulching our entire backyard?

Dimensions are approximately 72' x 40'

I'm tired of tending it and Nickel is not friends with the pushmower anymore.

Ideas, concerns, comments...

Jameo, your aunt's landscaping work is beyond gorgeous. She really does have a remarkable talent for design, color, flaura selection, etc. Is she out for hire?

Zoysia is a particularly hardy grass that grows well in a wide range of conditions and requires far less watering and mowing than most grasses. At the same time, this “tough” grass creates a thick, soft carpet that feels great in bare feet. Zoysia is ideal because it actually grows differently. It sends out runners or “stolons,” expanding sideways more than it grows tall. This is why it is so dense and effective at choking out most summer weeds and replacing existing grass.



It's what you find on a lot of golf courses.

According to the guy I had come out and mow a few weeks ago, this is the type of grass we have, mixed with Bermuda grass. The issue, at least IMO is the weeds. We have a lot of those big clumps of weeds that you have to dig out...I've been trying to remember the name for at least a week and I can't, for the life of me.

Jameo - That does not look like a yard, it looks like a park! That's awesome!
