I planted mint in my yard for this exact reason. I hate grass lawns. However local flowers are probably better for local pollinator and bird populations, so I might add those too.

please do! native flora are super important, especially since large monocultures of a useless crop (grass) have become popular. if your yard is gonna be filled with plants that you aren't using, you might as well fill it with plants that are useful to the environment

The other day walking in the woods I saw what I assume is native grass, it looked like lawn grass so I'm tempted to experiment.
