My slacker point of view: I hate mowing. I've taken out virtually all of my grass (save a small 12x12 spot in the back), and I've added plants, trees, gravel paths, a rain garden, a covered potting area (that doubles as a play area for the kids when it's raining), a paved patio, herb garden, fruit garden, vegetable garden....and a mini-bocce ball court. So now instead of working to keep up with my lawn, I enjoy and interact with my small plot of turf.
