Thyme Lawn: A Water-Wise, Fragrant Alternative to Grass

A Living Carpet That Stops Traffic

In Denver's historic Washington Park neighborhood, a carpet of rosy pink thyme replaces traditional turf at Rick Pratt's Classic Homeworks office. The thyme thrives on just 20 minutes of weekly irrigation during the growing season, requires only deadheading twice a year and occasional edging, and perfectly complements the formal 1896 house facade.

Why Thyme Works

• Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance.
• Fragrant, neat, and attractive year-round.
• Handles light foot traffic.
