    Replace your lawn with white dwarf clover. It looks lawn like but doesn’t get super tall. Also it feeds the pollinators.

    Edit: White dwarf clover is what people think of when they think of clover. It’s not something exotic. Do not get crimson clover and especially not red clover lol. Red clover is a perennial and gets very tall.

        You are not thinking about the large picture.

        Renting a tiller and throwing down some clover seeds is cheap compared to a lifetime of lawn people.

        Just like with your first comment. Yes things break and are expensive, but you’re not throwing ~1500 a month out the window renting.

        Nah, the process you’d want to do is called over seeding. You trim the grass super super short, spread seeds, and that’s it. You can get seeds and a spreader for pretty cheap. It’s not as expensive as something like sod or ripping up your old grass.

          I would still have to pay someone as like I said I cannot do it myself. Thanks for the suggestion though

            No worries. I wasn’t trying to make assumptions, just point out that the process is much less involved than you’d guess given what replacing grass usually looks like.
