Would it be alright if I poured cement over the entire lawn and called it a day? Well, maybe not over the *entire* lawn. I would have sections open for flower beds. The rest would be cement. What I could do is paint it a deep green, put yellow spots here and there for the dandilion look. Maybe even have a crab grass area. Every few months or so, I could repair any cracks, paint over it in need be. Would be a whole heck of a lot easier than mowing, weeding, watering, planting, seeding et al, that one needs when dealing with a lawn.

BTW, happy Cinco De Mayo.
