On the other hand if you're gonna replace it with a bunch of tiny plastic painted bright green that in no way shape or form looks or feels like grass what's the point.

I have two wolves inside me and I don't know which one to let out.

Extra downside of artificial turf: it usually has a rubber layer underside so water doesn't drain through it and will kill way more than grass via dehydration, while also creating spots for mosquitoes to breed in any divots where rain can pool on top.

I think having to replace an entire lawn needs to be framed as a long term goal not a single project. Just starting with no water, fertilizer, or new seed is an easy step one, then as places become patchy you replace them with new beds or alternative ground covers
