A short border runs along one side of the lawn. The lawn will be walked
over for weeding and pruning.

A washing line runs above the lawn. The lawn will be walked over by the
hanger-up of laundry.

The lawn will be mowed infrequently and not short.

I think you'd be better off with either grass or a short (6in or so)
wildflower meadow. The regular laundry run will soon wear a bare track
