Looking for a Beautiful Eco-Friendly Lawn?

Having a green lush lawn is the dream of every homeowner, especially, an eco-friendly lawn that is easy too grow and at low cost. In Vancouver, this is hard because of it’s wildlife and European Chafer Beetle. But hard does not mean impossible.

 While people think artificial turf will be a quick solution, it’s proven that artificial turf is toxic, susceptible to unsanitary conditions  (specially with pets) and harm the environment (HIA of the Use of Artificial Turf in Toronto).  Today and future challenges need solutions that are eco-friendly and unattractive to the Chafer Beetle or the birds and mammals that prey on them. That’s why, at Vinca Landscape, we are proud to use BC’s family-owned company West Coast Seeds products that are excellent alternatives to the traditional lawn grasses.  

 

Eco-Friendly Lawn Alternatives:

Microclover

Microclover is a eco-friendly Chafer Beetle resistant blend that will need less maintenance.

Read our last landscaping article to learn how to grow a microclover lawn or watch the video below of our friend Alec Mcclenan, founder of Good Nature Organic lawn Care, to learn more about micro clover.

Pollinator Lawns

Pollinators, responsible for 1 out of every 3 bites of food we eat, are in peril due to pesticides, disease, and loss of habitat. But there is good news, you can help save the bees! 

The solution is as simple as planting food that bees need and creating places for them to live. By doing this you will reduce maintenance costs and eliminate the Chafer Beettle. 

Bee Turf
Bee Turf: Is a lawn replacement blended from mixed clovers and low-growing wildflowers that was developed by West Coast Seeds in partnership with the City of Richmond, BC.
Easy Care Envirolawn
Easy Care Envirolawn: Envirolawn is a mix of slow-growing grasses & drought tolerant flowers - low growing, low maintenance. Easy Care Envirolawn seeds include hard fescue, perennial ryegrass, strawberry clover, English daisies, white yarrow, and baby blue eyes.
Alternative Lawn Mix
Alternative Lawn Mix: It forms a low-growing, dense ground cover composed of fine fescues, flowers, and clover species, and provides a colourful and less demanding alternative to traditional grass lawns.

Tall Fescue

The best for turf appearance. Tall Fescue stands up to traffic, drought, cold, shade, pets, and mowing.

Because this “grass” does not produce thatch, it is not attractive to the Chafer Beetle.

Fescue can be mixed with wildflower blends or Micro-Clover to cover in an area densely and quickly. 

TALL FESCUE
Tall Fescue is so light and fluffy you will walk around with your bare feet!
