Going Native



One of the coolest parts of our new house is how much effort our builder is putting into being green. The house is ridiculously insulated and sealed and there is even an electric car charging station in the garage. This eye for detail made it all the more curious to discover that our front yard, which is being provided will feature the ecological nightmare, Kentucky Blue Grass. It has become much more widely understood over the last few years how much water this type of grass requires out here (or most  places besides Kentucky). We are excited to design are more natural backyard, incoporating natural species and to an extent, some xeriscaping. Personally, I an excited to use Legacy Buffalo or Colorado Blue for our backyard. We'll see how it goes.
