You could try thyme or chamomile both make lovely lawns but what kind of an area are you trying to cover ?

Hi

You could go for a wildflower lawn, they only need cutting twice a year too...You might need poor soil for a wildflower area to thrive.

There are grass seeds on the market that are low growing...might be worth checking those out.
Have a look at Google images to see what a chamomile lawn looks like...they can be great. I used the wrong type once when I did one, I used the tall growing type....it ended up a bit of a mess....

Most of the lawns up here in Donegal are moss.....they still need cutting as there is a bit of grass in there somewhere....

If there was a "sustainable" or "worry free" lawn, we would all be adorning it. There is not such thing as no maintenance I am afraid.

You will find there are pros and cons on various options.

Tell us more about the site, level of gardening, and what you would realistically like to achieve

i plan to level site, i would like to reduce the need for lawn mowing ( to avoid the use of petrol) but also need it to be durable for access and as close to grass aesthetically .thanks for reply

If you went for the wildflower lawn idea, you could just mow specific access paths through it.....I've seen pictures of such designs and they look beautiful.
