Maintenance-free alternatives to grass
Hello!
I own a rental property that sits on top of a hill with a very steep front yard. Parking is in the back of the house, and the front yard is never used. The grass is a pain to cut because of the steep hills. Does anyone have any ideas for maintenance-free alternatives? I've seen some houses that look like they have ivy lawns instead of grass. Has anyone done this before? How difficult would it be to replace grass with ivy or some other alternative?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
