Is a combination of pebble walkways, river rock patches, and maybe a decorative boulder or two, decorative or green non-grass ground cover and small, well-placed shrubs/bushes allowed, as a replacement for all grass? I'm not asking about courtyard villas. I'm asking about the rest of TV. I really don't want to waste water, pesticides, herbacides, and various other expensive and planet-killing methods on grass that no one can set a blanket down on for a picnic, or play the 9th hole, or set up a volleyball net. If the only criteria I need to follow is that it look green and grassy, I'd feel better ripping the whole thing up and setting down astroturf. It'd serve the exact same function - which is to be green, and flat-ish.

I'm also not asking about an "all-rock" lawn.
