Stone yards are horrible. They radiate heat in the summer and choke living things underneath them.

It'd be better if we used natural fertilizers like chicken manure and worm casings for our flower beds, and replaced grass with low-growing plants like peanut plant, that needs little to no maintenance at all and no mowing. And grew plants that were natural insect repellents, while at the same time attracting pollinators.
