There are many different options for replacing your grass. For starters, there are various ground cover plants to consider. Clovers and other low ground plants can cover a large area and require no trimming or maintenance.
Using Rocks, Stones and Pebbles

Removing the grass immediately around the perimeter of your property and filling in the area with stones can help divert rain runoff from your roof and prevent flooding or water damage in your basement.
