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.

Peanut plant yard would be great, but would take more water than stones. Plus water is expensive. As far as" stone yards radiating heat"......which would radiate more heat - stone yards or grass yards cut by GIANT , MASSIVE , LOUD pollution-producing tank-like IC engine, lawn massacre, riding machines. If ALL the commercial lawn massacre types rode on electrical lawn mowers - they I could agree that stone lawns MIGHT be less superior. Also, if we are talking an ideal world, then ALL golf carts would be ELECTRIC.
