Note on plant lists:
These lists are generalized by sunlight availability and soil moisture content.
Many plants on the lists are tolerant of a wide range of conditions and some plants are limited to certain conditions.
Shade and Sun can also be variable. Most plants on these lists can tolerate part sun or part shade especially in medium or wet soils. Only a few dozen plants can survive the deepest shade.
Deep shade is ok if there is moisture but dry deep shade is the hardest to get a good selection or diversity of plants in.
Sunny dry spots are ussualy dead areas in lawn. Crabgrass areas, rocky areas, along sidewalks, hell strips, thin lawn, sheep sorrel spots,
Sunny medium soil sights are lush lawn, thick lawn, areas with grub activity, weedy areas, areas with lots of clover
Wet sunny soils are those that are low lying, have standing water after rains, muddy in spring, areas with nut sedge, Plantago, violets, path rush, prunella, dock, knotweed etc
Coastal soil near salt water and salt marshes. Replace your lawn in these areas to reduce your properties environmental impact and improve water quality. Some plants in this list can tolerate salt better than others.
Sandy, dry under oaks, pines, birch, beeches, etc
Areas of the lawn that are thin or mossy
Areas that are rocky or have shallow soil over bedrock
For lush grassy, spongey lawns under maples, birches, oaks, beech, pine and hickory. These areas can be transitioned into a woodland meadow easily as they retain many native species.

For areas near swamps, around creeks or boggy areas
For moist mossy or muddy lawns.
