Thanks for sharing your fence design specs; it looks functional, unobtrusive, and relatively economical to build - perfect.

In my part of California, however, all it takes is a few years of drought and all bets are off! I have also been told that deer’s eating preferences vary by neighborhood.

I think finding something 'lawn-like' that grows in shade and clay soil will be a huge benefit. So many homeowners struggle to grow grass in those areas because they don't know there is a better alternative. I am also very interested to hear how your sedge trials go.

I've learned to let them lord over hillsides and look gorgeous from a distance. No mow is one of my favorite grasses and I don’t have great success with them in high traffic areas.
