Grass is great! Just don’t use fertilizer! Grows anywhere and needs very little maintenance other than occasional watering. If your in a place where geese congregate that could be an issue.

15 years ago my “dirt” island lot was spilling in the lake every time it rained. I bought the cheapest grass seed at SAM’s Club. Spread it over the island dirt (no top soil, no fertilizer) and in short while I had a beautiful, tough, somewhat greenish lawn that my dog just loves to do her business on! Great surface!
