5 Yard Decisions Landscapers Warn You'll Soon Regret
Briefly

The most regrettable yard project among homeowners is installing fake grass or turf, which still requires regular maintenance and can produce harmful microplastics. Other common regrets include misconceptions about native plants which still need care, and the challenge of turning an entire yard into an edible garden, which can lead to overwhelming work. Homeowners should consider moderation and proper care requirements when planning their landscapes to avoid future dissatisfaction and maintenance challenges.
Even though fake grass doesn't need water to grow, you'll still have to use water to maintain it. Regular maintenance is required to keep it looking realistic, especially if pets are involved.
People tend to think that native means no maintenance, but these plants and gardens still need to be watered and taken care of.
While making an edible garden can be fulfilling, turning your whole yard into one can lead to regrets and overwhelming maintenance.
The microplastics artificial turf produces can quickly find their way into waterways, and they're tough to remove, contributing to environmental concerns.
