This much lush lawn in front of a home is somewhat of a rarity in Seattle neighborhoods. Today’s most clicked property is almost like a slice of the East Side on the West Side. This 1940s Ravenna rambler has an expanse of green grass that appears to have been lovingly maintained. I immediately searched the listing for mention of a sprinkler system and sure enough they’ve got one. There’s really no other manageable way, in my opinion, to keep a large lawn looking great in Seattle without one. You may think, “why would you need a sprinkler system in Seattle? It rains all the time?!” It’s true that we get plenty of rain but mostly in the winter months. The summers are often quite dry and by August/September most lawns are dead and brown, that is of course, unless you have a sprinkler! Water restrictions can hit you in some especially dry years so sometimes even your sprinkler won’t help you. I’m a big proponent of water-wise gardening. There are many beautiful drought resistant plants that make a great lawn-substitute, save you money and are better for the environment.
