I have a courtyard villa with a large backyard that was bark and stone. We decided to install some grass (zoysia) so I went to Home Depot and bought an old fashioned reel mower - human powered. I like it so far - not a lot of work. Cost $129 but no gas or oil or sparkplug and it runs every time.
I also bought a Worx lawn trimmer and edger off the internet - battery operated - cost $119 plus shipping.
We love the lawn and, even though it is a little extra work for me, the tradeoff was worth it.
