Depending on your region, native turf grasses like Buffalo Grass would reduce the need to mow, period. Buffalo grass tolerates drought, has deeper roots that absorb more runoff, and only grow 3-8 inches anyway. Less mowing, less fertilizer. The biggest cost would be the initial planting.
I've looked at those Neutron electric mowers, but the price and current lack of lawn (renting), have kept me from buying one. Anyone tried one of those?
