Anything is better than lawn grass unless maybe you live in northwestern Europe. The shit works there.

(102,778 posts)While I was in college. It turned out really nice and is still being managed by the current owner. It was a kind of trashy yard that needed cleaning up. But I have never owned a mower and rarely agree to use one. I mowed that place twice and after that, I notified my landlord that it wasn't going to be a lawn anymore. He didn't protest and actually thanked me when it was clear what I had done and how it all worked. I turned a trashy yard into an outdoor reading room with shaded patios and flowers everywhere. I encouraged as much native stuff as I could. There were heirloom shrubs so I revived those.
Anyway, there should be some kind of incentive to forego the stupid and costly lawn.
