Convert a hellstrip into clover (or something else)? (slrpnk.net)

Hi folks. The hellstrip in front of my apartment is, well, a hellstrip for sure, it's very sad looking with some patchy grass for dogs to pee on. Is there anything I could do to convert it into something nicer? I've been reading about guerilla planting but I don't really have the physical ability to go downstairs and water it, weed it etc like a full garden with shrubs and stuff, but I could probably get my partner to throw some water on it occasionally when they come home from work.

Probably asking for a miracle here, but is there anything I can just sprinkle over the area that'll take over and turn into something nice?

oh that's convenient! We do have violets in the backyard, maybe I could harvest the seeds then. I don't think I've ever harvested seeds from anything before.

EDIT: after some reading, it seems that lyreleaf sage is not present in my area (which I'm starting to think is a little bit of an unusual spot ecologically). But the wild strawberries on the list are! Wild strawberries and blue violets sounds so magical...
