Turf Conversion
Sheet Mulching Program
Transform Your Landscape
Why turf removal and conversion?
Traditional lawns consist of turf, a non-native species of grass that demands a lot of water to thrive in our southwest Montana landscape. There are more water-wise, resilient, and beautiful ways to steward your landscape that take into account our sensitive water supply and alpine ecosystem. Converting your lawn through turf removal is a great first step, and the Gallatin River Task Force wants to help make the process simple and affordable.
