The ecology requires plantlife. Without flowers, there are no pollinators. Without pollinators, there is no food.

Also, 100% stone yards = the need for weedkillers = really REALLY bad for nature.

On the other hand, sod is a waste of space, especially in Central Florida where you can't even have real actual grass. Better to have a wildscape than either a "lawn" or rockbeds.
