My little lawn in the backyard is mainly clover now. And I love it. What are your thoughts?

    I just wish it took to heavy traction more. I’ve yet to find anything that stands up to it as much as tall fescue. Not creeping thyme or clover

    I also have a clover yard! What’s your mow / care strategy? 

    Most of the advice in this sub are for people with sod / grass. I never get any good advice for fellow clover lawners!

    Not for me but I guess that’s why I have my own lawn.

    I have one in the front. The years it rains it looks fantastic. It seems to be a little more finicky than just grass but it’s ok.

    Too easy for critters and snakes to hide. Pretty from afar though.

    I clean mine up with crisp edges. What ever your growing looks nice with manicured edges n

    That looks good. I made the mistake of trying it in a high traffic area and it always looked stomped. I want to do it again in a different spot.

    Love them, i do clover ground cover on freshly cleared forest land. Like to do 2-3 cycles and then you can put native grasses/wildflowers in.

    I’m over here trying to get my clover to go away lol.

    I know a lot of people crap on regular lawns as “having the biodiversity of a concrete slab”, and honestly that sounds perfect to me. I hate bugs and critters near (and higher risk of in) my house.

    No one is praising the neglectful renters next door for ignoring their lawn. Not sure why we would change that because people did it intentionally, or I would love living next to it. I would probably think twice about buying a property with it or next to it. But to each their own

    Is there anyway to prevent weeds with a clover yard? I’m really considering doing this but I’m worried I won’t be able to have *only* clover. I’ve got some nasty stuff currently growing in my back yard and I’m gonna start from scratch over the summer and into fall and trying to come up with a game plan.

    I wouldn’t mind except in my area it doesn’t come back in after winter until around March. Then it’s all mud for part of spring and fall

    I love them, but the snake factor is real.

    I seeded clover+shade mixture in the fall and have been happy with the results in my shady back yard. Zoysia in the sunny front yard in Alabama.

    I love it. I’m doing large pockets of clover. Lower traffic and shady areas.

    What raised beds do you have there? So many options I haven’t been able to decide on which to buy..

    The shadow had tricked my brain into thinking it was a hedge, so when I read the title the confusion was intense for a moment.

    I would love a clover lawn personally

  19. I love it, I tried it in backyard for 2 years and it didn’t really take

    I really want to replace my yard with a micro clover

    I wish I could get mine to take. Every time I’d seed, there would be near hurricane conditions and wash it all out.
