What may one make a lawn with other than grass? I think I heard violets
mentioned somewhere, really? or did I imagine it?

THere are many substitutes for light-zero traffic but grass is the only
one that will take wear

The lawn, or whatever the right word may be, will only be walked on
infrequently.

Why? I ask this because what it's going to be used for is paramount in
designing *any* area of a garden. Your infrequent might be once a month but
someone else's might be twice a day. Is yours to be decorative and a sort
of 'garden curiosity' or will you take garden furniture there and use a
barbecue in warm weather etc?
