A lot of it comes down to an under appreciation of how incredible grass is as a plant. It's the first thing to grow after fires. It just needs the smallest pile of dust build up in a grout line, or against a wall to grow from. It spreads everywhere.

And yet somehow in my garden, I could barely get it to grow for 5 years.

Have you considered AstroTurf? /s

You do obviously need light. My folks have had great success on the north side of their lawn using one of those low growing clovery plants. As the light increases north to south the grass outperforms it until its back to being a grass lawn.

Idk how it would stand up to kids. Our formerly prize-winning* lawn is looking a lot less lush nowadays.

*very much down to the previous owners, not us.

I'd rather have mud, tbh. At least the kids can dig about in it. Will see how the turf takes, first.
