What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Amy Renea to Old School Green Design: Add Texture With Grass

Forgoing a lawn for a planting of short ornamental grasses is an excellent way to maintain a horizontal plane of green without weekly maintenance. Some ornamental grasses are strong enough to walk on, so research before you purchase based on your activity needs.

Not all berms have to be flower beds; ornamental grasses planted on a large sloping mound are a contemporary approach to the berm.
