Re: Rethinking the Suburban Lawn: National Coalition Launches New Website

Wanting to replace a lot of grass, but keep the green look is problematic. We need something that is deer resistant; grows on non-peculating clay soil; is relatively inexpensive; and will be green. We're in Chapel Hill, NC on the side of a steep hill (75' drop from top of lot to bottom) with periods of drought and high heat. The biggest problem is the deer! Can you suggest plant material? I've read the list, but the deer love liarope.
