Why is drought-tolerant grass important to consider? Lawns take an enormous amount of water to maintain. Apart from serious matters such as water conservation and rising temperatures, drought-tolerant lawn grasses for your yard also mean potentially lower water bills for you. Regardless of your region and its suitability towards warm-season or cool-season grasses, you're likely seeing longer dry spells than a decade or so ago.
Generally, drought-tolerant lawn grasses either require less water than other types, or recover well after a prolonged dry spell. Meaning a lawn can better look after itself, with minimal watering or attention from you. Of course, if you are serious about water conservation and biodiversity, there are numerous grass alternatives too, such as clover, sedum and meadow flowers.
