The message
from "Gill Smith" contains these words:

I have not the time, inclination or capacity to indulge it now

but I once had the idea of a close-cropped bowling-green type lawn

containing a pattern/picture/2-dimensional maze or whatever, created
by sowing two strains of grass (i.e. one darker than the other)

You can achieve a patterned/maze effect on any lawn very easily ,
just by varying the mower height; judicious use of a strimmer, or
handshears.
lots of examples here (scroll down)

If you google "mowing patterns on lawn" you'll find scores more
references, books of suggestions etc.

mowing!

if I go back to gardening, it'll be totally green - goats/sheep (can never
remember which crops closer).
