I enjoy having a natural lawn. Rain waters it. Ponies mow it almost totally. We use the lawn mower once a month or so to get what the ponies miss. Our lawn would never pass any HOA regs, but I love it - complete with chicory, clover, and more.
I don’t want to live in a place that doesn’t have abundant natural greenery TBH. We travel to those places and they never appeal for living there - just for visiting.
