I hate my lawn and I wish it was clover. Or gravel

r/nolawns has some great resources! Clover is wonderful.

Clover is ok. It is just as invasive and non-native as grass. At least it sometimes has some flowers, but they often get mowed off anyway. They have a whole writeup about it in that sub.

You could make that happen.

Lay a tarp over it on a hot day, then rake it out and seed with clover. If that's what you really want, it's honestly not too difficult to accomplish

It's 3/4 acre, so it would take a lot of iteration, but I wouldn't have expected it to be that easy.

An electric dethatcher might make it a bit easier; I can understand the reluctance to tackle that large of an area. The non-difficulty I was referring to was the game plan, certainly not the physical labor of the task
