| Question: | "When we convert out-of-play rough turf to "naturalized" landscape plantings, will all maintenance be eliminated in these areas?" |
|---|
| Source of Question: | Florida |

| Answer/Response: | "Once established, naturalized landscape plantings will not require regular inputs such as mowing, irrigation, fertilization, or pesticide treatments. Also, there are other positive benefits such as creating additional wildlife habitat. There's a misperception that naturalized areas don't need maintenance. In Florida, significant annual vegetation growth occurs and some maintenance of landscape material is still needed. In particular, controlling noxious exotic weeds has been identified as an issue at numerous Florida courses. Maintenance of naturalized areas is definitely less time consuming than maintaining turf, but it is not totally eliminated." |
