These ideas are absolutely cool! Whenever we get around to fixing our backyard (it's a horrible mess right now), I'd like to try one of these on a large, bare area we will have. Thank you!!

Thank you for a great article. What a wonderful idea. You helped open another door for me on rethinking my whole outdoor space, for one good idea such as yours, leads to another, and another...!!!

Eileen, does Thyme grass need regular watering? And can it be left without mowing at all? I have vinca up front between the sidewalk and street and I haven't had to water it all summer. The only thing is that it can spread quite quickly, and it does look overgrown if I don't cut it back at least a few times a year. So many lawns were brown this year, so I was thrilled to see the dark green vinca. I do need something else in back, so Thyme might be an option.

- Sorry for the delay
I don't water my Thyme lawn. It's way to big and would probably enpty my well. It seems to thrive in all sorts of weather, from drout to floods.

We are looking for a xeriscape-type lawn (or groundcover), low growing and able to stand partial shade. We are in Southern California and the soil is sandy. Any suggestions? Thanks!
