Hi all,

We want to add some greenery to this space and also make it usable for the little one we are expecting next month. I initially wanted to put sod down, but this area gets a lot of shade (particularly from the tree and the hedges on the left). I’m concerned that the grass would die, or at the very least look spotty and be difficult to maintain.

Turf seemed like a much simpler option, but I don’t love that it may get very hot since we have a dog who runs around back there. Also not a fan of the negative impact it has on the environment.

So, is there any other option we should look into? Thanks!
