Danielle is a Denver7 evening meteorologist who’s been predicting Colorado’s ever-changing, ever-challenging weather for more than a decade.

Centerra, a Loveland community, boasts nearly 500 acres in common areas, and taking care of it is no easy task!At Chapungu Park within the Centerra, there's a great green lawn that is manicured. The community also has native spaces with hardy, native-to-Colorado plants.Native landscaping is dramatically less expensive to install and maintain than manicured areas. Installing native landscaping is usually one-third of the cost of manicured landscaping.

Thirteen different grass species were planted in test plots along an intersection between two major city arterial streets at the Centerra Chapungu Sculpture Park. From Buffalo grass to salt grass, the seeds were all studied over two years to determine which types of grasses can withstand the over-splash of the de-icer and salt treatments used during winter snow plowing. Ultimately, the Buffalo grass and Dog Tuff grass performed the best, requiring very little water and mowing maintenance.
