If you had a choice to continue mowing the lawn or replace with gravel which requires no petrol for the mower and no watering, would you?

The birds drop seeds here so I get a little greenery on occasion. ( mainly in the cracks of my sidewalk)

Up front, I would keep Grass, but I decided a comparison is also in order.
Go Gravel (Not Necessarily Go Green)
+ Conserve Gas/Petrol
+ Conserve Water (dependent on annual rainfall)
~ Maintenance changes to regular raking. (You cannot let a volume of plant matter rot on top of the gravel - neighbors grass clippings, fall leaves, animal waste.)
- Less comfortable under foot. (Speculation.)
- Children more likely to scrape themselves on it. (Speculation, even smooth pea stone can be rough if you wipe out in it.)
- Will need filler gravel from time to time, just like driveways.
- Yard quality gravel might be expensive and have a polluted manufacturing/cleaning history. (Speculation.)
Keep The Grass
+ Maintain the current ecosystem in your yard.
+ Holds soil in place efficiently.
~ Keep your current yard work.
- Grass stains.
- Hides insects that might bite/sting
- Needs more maintenance in dry weather. (Needs watered when you are trying to conserve water.)
- May need to get expensive seed to liven up dead spots.
