About Competitive Lawn

We help homeowners, pros, and institutions replace thirsty turf with low-mow, low-water lawns — clover, thyme, fescue, native grasses and more — matched honestly to climate, soil, and use.

How we work

Our species pages and guides follow our editorial policy, are reviewed by the horticulturists on our experts panel, and corrections are logged publicly on our corrections page. Pet-safety claims are checked against the ASPCA toxic-plant list.

Who we are

Competitive Lawn was founded by Niels Mekelenkamp in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, and is the seed sister company of Moss & Stone Gardens LLC. Olivia Milner and Alyssa Culpepper are co-founders of Competitive Lawn and expert reviewers, and COOs of the wider group. Bios and titles are maintained on our experts panel.
