Which I totally supported right up until my yard got a flea infestation, and they kept jumping on my legs whenever I walked outside. I'm honestly really grateful they didn't move into my house from the lawn.

I still do support having native lawns, but I also believe in informed decision making, so make sure to do a little research before committing to a native lawn. My neighbor keeps a colony of cats and I likely won't be able to safely have a native yard until they're gone.
