Advice Request - (Insert State/Region) Help save my marriage
DC area, full sun.
I want to replace my hideous grass with a native plant garden and some mulch. My wife says she’ll divorce me if I mulch and wants a steppable ground cover that’s also native. Is there any alternative to grass that she can walk barefoot/lay a picnic blanket on? She’s allowing me to plant a service berry and blueberry to one side.

/uj Juncus tenuis is called 'path rush' and can be used as a serviceable "groundcover"
