Practice grass-cycling by leaving short grass clippings on lawns after mowing, so that nutrients and organic matter are returned to the soil.
Consider replacing some lawn areas with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. Good candidates for removal are portions of large lawns, areas where no one uses the grass, patches that don't grow well, or spaces too small to water without overspray.
Develop healthy soil for plants that are vigorous and naturally pest-resistant.
