Oh, the lawn area would be maybe 3,500 square feet if that makes a
difference

Thanks for any thoughts

Well, i despise lawns and would sooner install parquet flooring
outdoors as mow a lawn. let me ask you this, do you live in a place
which forbids such things as "meadows"? a meadow is a delightful
thing or place, it allows for picnics and other oudoor adventures and
does not require mowing. the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens publishes a
booklet on groundcovers and grasses; i wrote a wee chapter on dwarf
groundcover bamboos for it...but it is also full of other things you
could plant, many of which would add up to an actual meadow. lawns are
evil things, they lead to golf and mowing and other dangerous
pastimes.

I support your efforts fully.
