Lawn Conversion

Break up with Your Lawn and Never Look Back!

Lawns can be a real headache-contending with high water bills, weeds, broken sprinklers, gophers, loud mowers, chemical fertilizers and weed control, and more.  If you’ve ever considered converting any part of your lawn to native or drought tolerant plants than this page is for you!
Maureen Isaacs (summer intern) dedicated her summer of 2011 to learning everything she could about lawn conversion and sharing it with the community. She created a Lamorinda Lawn Conversion Guide and many other resources that help make it easy and affordable to transform any lawn area into  a sustainable garden!
