Guys, as the person who started no lawns on Reddit (and here) my yard is a disaster lol. I work outside all day and the last thing I want to do when I get home is yard work. That being said, I removed a bunch of invasives from my yard Monday and I'm working on a plan to tackle a corner of my yard the way I've always wanted to in NoLawns style with native plants. I'm always open to suggestions for the Chicago area!

Buy a shitload of native groundcover seed and till the ground and mix it all in?

I'd have to find it locally though. Looking at some of the "native seed" sites, they're not all natives.

Google says https://www.chicagobungalow.org/post/native-plants-2024

Seems like a bunch of places to start off by calling
