The Burson’s

We moved into our home and it had a very traditional front yard with grass, shrubs, and an ornamental tree in the middle. It looked like most of the front yards in the neighborhood. Over time it matured and looked ok, nothing spectacular but ok. We finally decided it was time for a change and we saw something about a workshop that MNWD was having about converting your yard to OC native plants. We attended, were impressed, and quickly committed. We knew this would transform our front yard into something unique, allow us to conserve water and most of all eliminate the grass. Our yard now is considered mature and has the benefits of color all year long with massive blooms in both summer and fall, we have birds and butterflies all year as well as bees. Plus, we have a somewhat unique tree called an Engelmann Oak right in the middle of the landscaping. This oak is native to OC but now there are just a few groves. We are very pleased with our decision and the results!
