Thanks guys,

I was thinking on planting some Bermuda Grass, which is quite common in
the area and its very low maitenance. Low maintenance is the keyword
for me and I also think (correct me if I am wrong) that bermuda
grass is quite drought tolerant, so it should be ok...

There are not many rocks and stones, so I think I will do it manually.

thanks again,

I can't tell where you are, but it sounds like the US. Bermuda grass
isn't typical of seed mixtures for British conditions: according to my
field guide it's found in the wild only in sandy coastal areas of
England, and according to another reference it stops growing and goes
brown below about 10 deg C. Yes, it tolerates low, and apparently also
very high, rainfall. Hates shade, loves sun. If it works for your
neighbours, that's the best recommendation you can have. I get the
impression the blades are rather hard, so maybe not the best for small
children to play on?

British lawns and other grassed areas rarely if ever use only a single
species or variety, but a blend. On general principles I'd have
expected that to be the best approach anywhere in the world, but I
can't speak for your area.
