The clover lawn is replacing the turf lawn. Crimson Clover drinks less, feeds pollinators, and is one of the rare plants that deposits nitrogen straight into the earth — breaking up soil for water to infiltrate and stay.

Drought tolerant
Crimson Clover's deep taproot pulls moisture turf grass never reaches. It stays green on roughly half the water — no daily sprinkler, no brown August.
A pollinator's field
Each crimson bloom is a landing strip for honeybees, bumblebees, and native pollinators. A yard in flower is a yard alive.
Nitrogen, delivered
Rhizobia bacteria on the roots pull nitrogen from the air and fix it directly into your soil. Roots break compaction as they go — the ground opens, water infiltrates, water is held.
