Obviously, your yard is probably going to sustain some damage at some point in its lifetime. There is no way to completely protect your yard from ALL harm and damage--but there are a few things you can do to limit how much damage actually occurs. This includes things like where you walk, what you plant, and how you protect your trees from storms. Read on below:
Walking: Walking can tamp down grass, mess up rocks and mulch, and other things. Whether it's you, your dog, or your child walking through your yard it has the potential to damage it significantly. Though it might not be a feasible option to keep your kids and pets off the lawn completely, an easy way to protect at least some of the grass is to install a walkway of stepping stones or a sidewalk through the lawn to where you want to go. For instance, if your shed is on the opposite side of the lawn, install stones two feet apart from your patio to the shed--that way you won't ever have to step on your grass when walking to the shed again!
Trees: Trimming your trees of old, dead branches is a good way to protect your house (especially the roof) during a storm--but what people don't realize is that this will also protect your grass or lawn decorations. If a large branch falls on your grass, it could severely hurt the growth prospects of the turf. If a tree branch falls on a lawn decoration, or a patio, or flowers--it can damage all of that as well. Making sure your trees are sturdy can limit damage to your yard significantly.
Plant: Plant strong trees, strong sod and grass, and strong flowers. This way they won't be ripped out, they won't be permanently damaged if someone falls on them, and a big storm won't tear their roots out. Having sturdy plants you can depend on in your yard will make it sustain less damage.
There are other ways you can limit damage to your lawn, but these are the most obvious (and the easiest) to quickly complete. Just install a walkway, trim your trees, and plant strong-rooted natural elements--you're set!
