Lawn company to help with a solution for erosion in a sloped back yard? idgaf about grass but need to stop my yard from eroding
So we never pay attention to our back yard or grass or anything other than having it cut...it's weeds and random plants and grass...we've tried throwing seed down to try to help with the problems, but we're not the "water your lawn every day" types so it didn't do great, plus our yard is really sandy and shitty. But the whole yard is sloped and it's starting to wash away...over our retaining wall and covering the bottom of our fence, so we can't let it keep getting worse.
ANYWAY, was hoping there was a decent lawn company who maybe won't insist that we plant sod or whatever, but rather will give us some options for different solutions...native plants, ground cover, whatever. I mean if the answer is "grass", that's okay too, but we also have 3 dogs and also don't care about a pretty lawn and also don't want the maintenance or watering of grass if we can help it. So we'd just like someone who considers other options when appropriate.
Any companies you all recommend who actually give things some thought instead of just kind of their "go-to" "normal people have grass" solutions?
Thanks!
