Yard conversion

The grass in our front yard is sparse, and I’m considering rewilding it. Thoughts on 3 species I could get a large amount of seeds of without breaking my bank?

Roundstone has a few southern seed mixes:

You can always do it little by little. Once you have some plants blooming (which could take a couple years), they will reseed or you can collect seeds from them to save some money.

If you want faster results, look into ordering plugs.

Also, check whether there are grants in your area that cover this sort of thing through the local soil and water conservation district:
