What would be a good thing to put in my backyard BESIDES grass?

Try clover. It is cheaper, better looking, and requires less maintenance. I do have a website, but I'm not posting it because you have demanded it - I'm posting it to be helpful. ;)

Geeze, I can't handle being held hostage like this for a whole 10 points! Are you sure you won't reconsider?

I'll pay ransom!

I think if you put the Boxer back there with the grass, that will help! Sorry no website!

I just came up with this on my own.

I am happy with the 2 pints for answering....

I have my whole backyard paved except for a small grass area where my dogs poops. It cost me approx $100 (The grass) and is about 5 metres by 7 metres, paving is good as we can just hose it down

A dog house, water dish, food dish...

You don't tell where you live, or anything else in your backyard so anything else is hard to say what else you should have...

How big is your yard, does your dog have access to the whole back yard or just part of it?...

Do you have trees? Do you have a deck? Do you have a BBQ Grill? (or would you even use one if you did have it?)

Keep your 10 points

We put rocks in our backyard. Might not be your cup of tea though.

this question depends on where you live, what climate you have, is your yard shady or sunny.

An entire topic on the subject came up that might help you.
