Why having these turf alternatives beats another year of lawn care
Luxurious and practical—achieve the kind of look that you often find in high-end landscape designs and benefit from the lower maintenance, aesthetics and ecological merits.
Easy care
Their roots nestle deeply into the soil, making them more drought resistant. This results in a more lush green lawn with using less water, fertilizer and herbicide.
Luxurious and Aesthetic
Stand out with a tasteful lawn upgrade. These turfgrass alternatives can level-up the textures, heights, and colors in your yard in ways that regular turf simply cannot do.
Bee-friendly
Less chemicals means healthier conditions for kids and wildlife. Native pollinators and songbirds will thank you for the extra space to gather food and raise their young.

Questions about the webinar?
Here’s what neighbors have asked before signing up.
Is this webinar really free?
Yes. The training, Q&A, and all downloadable resources are completely free. At the end we’ll share details about the paid Edible Yard Design Package for local homeowners who want help implementing what they learned. You can attend, take notes, and never buy a thing.
I rent my home. Does this still make sense for me?
If you have a yard or shared outdoor space you can plant in, you will leave with ideas you can use right away—especially low-cost, low-commitment options like container-based native edibles and portable pollinator planters. The full design package is best suited for homeowners or long-term renters with supportive landlords.
What if I can’t attend live?
Register anyway. We’ll send you a replay link that’s available for 7 days. Live attendees will get first access to package spots, but we’ll reserve a portion for people who watch the replay during that window.
How do I know if my yard is in your service area?
During the webinar we’ll clearly outline our current service map. If you’re slightly outside the area, we can often still support you virtually. You’ll be able to enter your address on a quick form to confirm before booking any paid services.
Do you actually install the landscape for me?
The Edible Yard Design Package focuses on design, planning, and support. We provide a clear installation game plan and can recommend trusted local installers, or help you phase the work so you can DIY confidently. In some cases our team can take on installation directly—we’ll talk through all options on the info page we share after the webinar.
