I gave up sod for clover mix and my runoff problem fixed itself

For 6 years I kept fighting patches in my backyard in Columbus, overseeding every spring and dumping lime. Last fall I finally ripped out about 900 square feet of grass and put down a white clover and fescue blend. The clover roots go deeper, so water soaks in instead of pooling against my patio after heavy rain. It also stays green through July without me dragging the sprinkler around every other day. My neighbor thinks it looks messy, but I mow it at 3 inches and it reads as a lawn from the street. Anyone here tried a clover mix for drainage or just for the lower water bill?
