I'll have to look into which of the ingredients are native. We are definitely trying for zero required maintenance and have it still look nice, some maintenance and have it look great. Total yard area including the house, future garden beds, patio, etc. is about an acre. We are rural-ish on about 6 acres. The rest is completely native with mature douglas fir, big leaf maple and alder trees. Planning some fruit trees in terraces about 30' from the house, but will have to do something to keep the deer from eating them before they mature.

We have a local organic nursery, but they appear to have mostly plants for beds. I'll ask about grasses and groundcover alternatives, they'll likely at least know something I don't about resolving this if they don't stock a solution.
