Melissa and Joshua M. took part in our Native Grass Lawn Program for homeowners in spring 2025 and began their landscape conversion that summer.
Says Melissa: "We had the best time learning and transforming our yard. Thank you for hosting this program and all your support. We are so happy to be transforming our neglected, weed-ridden front yard into a native, manageable area we can be proud of."
The images and captions above explain the progression of their yard from weeds to an easy-to-maintain, low-water lawn that adds value and vibrancy to their home.
You can see different native grasses in use, as well as other landscape choices that do well in Colorado Springs, at our Water Wise Demonstration Garden at the Conservation and Environmental Center, located at 2855 Mesa Road. Our expert staff can answer questions and help guide you toward a Water Wise landscape that best fits your lifestyle. They are available Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. or call to schedule an appointment: (719) 668-8232.
Registration for our next native grass lawn program opens in April 2027.
