Dear Robert:
Rocking on is a short time solution. In this area of the country, soils
tend to be acidic and applying lime is a necessary requirement in order to
obtain a good stand of grass. Instead of lime, one can cover the area with
lime
stone/gravel and given enough time, a nice stand of grass or volunteer
weeds will appear.
This approach does yield a firm lawn, where vehicular traffic will not
mar up, mowing can be a problem if the blades are too low or the ground is
uneven, as you will get a shower of stones when the mower picks up the
underlying gravel.
One other issue should be pointed out, and that is your lady friends
will not enjoy frolicking in the gravel. Grass, according to reports, is a
much more friendly environment for socializing, even with the chiggers.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson

All right now listen up close.
I have the salution to mowing the yard.
Pick up the phone and find the nearest gravel yard and have them come out
with the appropriate amount of what ever type of rock you would like to
replace your grass with.
Rock on.
