Convenient, natural, beautiful grass
Our lawn is so green and lush, and we love having a more natural option to put on it. We do have to spread a granular pre-emergent for weed control, but living in the South, that is just a necessity--our weeds would take over if we didn't. We love Sunday and tell everyone how easy it is!
