Lawn. I have a lawn. Just grass. Takes water and space. Makes a little O2 and that's it.

FWIW, I'm trying to get rid of it. Plans to build a solar array in the back yard, cover the patio with a greenhouse that connects the house to the garage, side yard is going to be raised planters, and the front is going to be mostly wildflowers with some small pathways and nooks for reading and relaxing. I'd like to get it to the point where I can "mow" the whole property with just a string trimmer.

Yeah, I’m going native yard now with a small hidden garden as well. Lawns aren’t the symbol they used to be.

A back yard lawn (and a deck in our case) is a luxury for sure. I really like having a big fenced-in area where the dogs can run around and get some good exercise even on days when we can't walk them. We traded a more urban life for things like that, although we're still relatively close to town. We also have a dog door, which, again, an absurd luxury but I really never want to live anywhere without a backyard and a dog door again if I can help it.
