Some Grass Alternatives That I Like

A List

W.I.P.
White Clover
Full sun, full enthusiasm nitrogen fixer. Clover is probably already round you. Spreads great. Low grower.
Bee Balm
Native. Unique flowers, culinary herb, and overall delight. Spreads well. Mid to high height, depending on variety.
Obedient Plant
Native. Spreads great! Really fills in the space. Mid height.
Yarrow
Native. Frilly, fun, medicinal powerhouse. Low to mid height.
Strawberry
Three season plant! Edible berries! Could be native! Tiny jumping vine.
Common Violet
Native. Salad greens with edible flowers, too. Tiny to low height. Fills in spots left by the rest of them well.
