I always find this to be crazy with grass. It is so damn difficult to grow a nice lawn but grass randomly grows out of rocks in the woods.

I’m sure you have just as much nice grass as that woods does. It’s just spread out (like in the woods) between the not so nice stuff because grass sucks and isn’t meant to exist, much less grow as a constantly-pruned monoculture, in most of the areas it’s used :)

I try to keep my lawn on the brink of grass death because grass is a worthless spoiled brat, constantly demanding resources to look remotely ok (and so I don’t have to mow it). The clover and violet I planted in it makes it look green with zero effort, though, so the city doesn’t get on my ass about it.

if you don't want to mow it get a robot

Lawl.

Why on earth would I spend a ton of money on a robot to maintain something I’m against, when I can plant things native to my region which do far far better for basically zero cost and have a positive impact on my area?

Grass is not meant to be in my area, that’s -why it dies-. I’m not going to prop that up with watering, fertilizer, and more mowing and shit just because of some bullshit social standard that makes no sense.

My city doesn’t mind, so good enough for literally everyone.

The American obsession with lawns is honestly fucking bizarre

You could try sowing grass native to your area. Or, better yet, kill your lawn: https://piped.video/watch?v=xYdLfkJcfok

The same species of grass?

Lawn grass isn't native, for one thing.
