Is there an alternative to grass that can be used to cover what was a lawn please such as heathers etc, that need minimal maintenance for my front garden. The garden is on two terraces which makes it difficult to mow.
I don't want grass because I have a large oak in the centre of the garden and it's leaves drop each year, ruining the lawn.
We have had some drainage work recently and all of the front garden has been dug up so it is now a good time to look for an alternative.
Thanks.
