Depends what you’re going for, but the most environmentally beneficial would be a mix of native wildflowers, shrubs, and trees. A pure clover lawn is still a monoculture like a grass lawn so it’s not as good for pollinators.

I don't weed or fertilize, and basically let whatever can grow there grow. It's a lot of mixed grass species and a ton of clover, dandelions, and some kind of small blue flower that hugs the ground.

People compliment me on it because it looks nice and healthy all year.

Yep I have the same belief - if it wants to grow I'll let it grow, I do not use any "weed-n-feed" products. I only do two main things:

  1. Lime in the fall to sweeten up the soil

  2. Organic fertilizer in the early spring.

I let anything grow that wants to grow in the fields, and let bigger stuff grow at the edges of the property.
