Default Best grass for a non garden/non mowing kind of guy

Hello,

Been reading your great posts and I have to apologize ahead of
time as I dont have the gardening bug. But I sure could use
your help.

We are a week away from moving into our new house and had a very
advanced (and expensive! *ugh*) drip septic system put in.

What I need to know is the best grass for a non garden guy. I
am hoping to mow as little as possible but I still want
something that I can walk on. The biggest need is to preserve
the ground and prevent runoff. Ideally I would like something
to spray on or seed.

I know this has been discussed on the groups numerous times and
I have followed around the threads. But many people look at
grass as a labor of love and I am looking at it a bit more
conventionally.

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

Thanks for any thoughts

Scott


If NW in the subject line means the Pacific Northwest it is too late to
plant a lawn from seed but you might get away with using sod.
