Clover. Clover is great:

  • Lush and green
  • Holds down soil we
  • Soft to walk on
  • Needs less water than grass
  • Needs less mowing
  • Bees love it

    I spread a bunch of clover seed around my yard, and where the grass was struggling (I don’t water or fertilize at all) the clover took over, and where the grass was doing ok naturally the clover sort of let the grass have that space mostly. Now the whole yard looks nice, and the clover is just fucking loaded with bees all day. It’s great. My dog just lies in the lush clover and watches the bees buzz around.

    It's also way less ugly than dandelions that have finished blooming and started spreading seeds, as a bonus. In fact, it looks pleasing to the eye.

    IIRC it also grows really easily, you can guerilla plant clover seeds around town at night if you really want to.
