Is clover seed for lawns a good alternative to grass?

[Lucas]

I’m thinking about replacing my traditional lawn with clover. Is clover seed for lawns a better option in terms of maintenance and water usage? I’d love to know the pros and cons before making the switch.

Clover is a good low maintenance substitute to grass. It needs a lot less water, remains green even in droughts and naturally fertilizes the soil through nitrogen fixation. Although it is eco-friendly and friendly to pollinators, it is not as tough in places of heavy foot traffic and may need frequent reseeding to keep it even.
