Sometimes a little mud is part of the fun... at least for kids and dogs.
That’s true, but I’ve found the mud can get old fast when you’re tracking it inside every day. Have you tried any specific native plants that really made a difference for drainage? I’m always looking for new options that can handle heavy rain.
Honestly, I tried swapping in some native grasses and sedges, but the cost added up quick and didn’t totally solve the mud issue. Ended up just putting down a cheap gravel path by the door—way less mess, and easier on the wallet. Sometimes simple fixes work better than fancy landscaping.
Honestly, I get where you’re coming from. Tried the “eco-friendly” route myself and it just turned into a muddy mess half the year. Sometimes the low-tech, budget options like gravel just make life easier. Not everything needs to be a showpiece, right?
