Of course, lawns continue to play a useful role, providing a pleasant setting for outdoor activities and a safe place for children to play. But one study suggests that just 600 square feet of lawn is sufficient for most activities. Reducing the size of your lawn is easily accomplished by extending the beds surrounding the grass farther into the lawn by a few feet, then filling the reclaimed area with appropriate plants of your choice. You can also convert the center of the lawn to a planting bed as shown in the section on creating a garden bed in your lawn , using a garden hose as your design tool. All rights reserved.
