Any clues about a lawn grass that growns now more than, say, 2 inches and requires NO mowing?

Question

I am currently looking for a new grass to plant in my lawn, but I want something that is environmentally safe (i.e., requires no mowing) and that is truly labor un-intensive. The areas in need of planting are ow- or no-traffic areas, so such damage need not be a consideration. I live in zone 7. Thanks.

Answer 1

THERES SOMETHING CALLED ...CREEPING BENT.... CHECK WITH A MAJOR LANDSCAPING COMPANY IF THIS IS STILL BEING USED...IT GROWS TO ABOUT YOUR STATED LENGTH AND THEN BENDS WITH A TINY FLAT LEAF AT THE TOP. USED TO BE QUITE COMMON BUT HAVENT HEARD OF IT LATELY....

If you’re tired of seeding, watering, fertilizing and working all season long to stay ahead of weeds and crabgrass, it’s time to consider zoysia. Once you’ve planted our zoysia grass in a new or existing lawn, you’ll be rewarded by a lawn that’s lush and low maintenance:
* Needs far less water than other grasses
* Thrives in blistering heat & survives the coldest winters
* Excellent for slopes, play areas and other tough conditions
* Reduces mowing to once a month or less
* Chokes out weeds and replaces other grasses
* Naturally resists insects
* Grows incredibly thick, like a soft carpet

Scottish links fescue, but people tend to allow it to grow to 6-8"
There is a company that manufactures a "fake grass" out of recycled plastic grocery bags. from a distance it looks good. it is installed over a weed fabric, sand base and actually has the feel of walking on real grass.

Answer 4

Zoyia grass is supposed to be a good one for that

I would suggest centipede. Low growing, but will still need to be mowed occasionally
