If you're seeking an eco-friendly alternative to non-native turf grass, I'd like to introduce you to Buffalo Grass (Bouteloua dactyloides), a native species to Minnesota. In the image below, you can see the strip between our driveway and a portion of our front yard beautifully covered in Buffalo Grass. What's great about it is that it requires no chemicals, no pesticides, and no fertilizers to thrive. Plus, it's highly drought-tolerant, making it a sustainable choice for your landscaping needs.
Buffalo Grass is not only low maintenance but also a Special Concern species in Minnesota. By choosing to plant it, you'd be contributing to its preservation and helping it thrive in its natural habitat.
