Instead of a Lawn
Dig Your Garden Landscape Design- Eileen says "Kurapia (phyla nodiflora) is a walkable, low-water groundcover. Sold in plugs or sod. Also shade tolerant. And a great lawn replacement."
We used "inline" drip emitters for this project, and I believe they used 12" emitter spacing. There are a few products in the marketplace. They emit/drip water every 12 or 18" and beyond. Some inline products are designed for on surface use and there are products for below surface. I think on surface would be just fine for the Dymondia. I'd check with your local irrigation store for available products, or work with a professional installer.
