Since lawns are bad for the environment, what do you think lawns should be replaced with?

Optional poll if you want, since this place doesn’t have polls,

I might add some of the suggestions

    Less grass.

    I have kids and dogs. Native plants don’t work - they can’t handle the traffic, the poop, and they don’t cover the mud.

    But I don’t need to fertilize it. I certainly don’t spray. I don’t need to water. I mow it, but it’s mechanical. And I plant native perennials around it.

      It sounds weird to plant native plants. I always just ignore a piece of garden for a while and native plants spontaneously spawn.
