Lawn Shape Challenge
Awhile back I wrote a post entitled Design Tip: Give Your Lawn a Shape (http://southernwilddesign.com/design-tip-give-lawn-shape/). It gives ideas on the design principle that your lawn should be a feature of your garden, not just a receptacle in your garden. A lawn shape is a design technique that is so simple it hurts.
Recently, a reader made the following comment on that post and posed a question:
I am particularly fond of round lawn shapes because they are unusual and quite striking. A singular circle or a grouping of circles makes a statement all unto itself.
With water shortages all over the south and west, reducing your lawn is a very good idea. By giving your lawn a distinct shape, you can achieve great design while reducing the size and the resources needed to keep up that lawn.
