Put down weed suppressing fabric on your borders, plant shrubs through it and then top with bark chippings - cheaper and still attractive, plus low maintenance.

If you want the grass all over option with a bit more interest, just cut out some squares and put a paving slab in each - you can then put a pot on each slab - if you level the slabs right you can simply mow over the edges. There are any number of different styles/colours/finishes of slabs you can get - some even form rings. If you aren't paying for the stones you could easily afford a few slabs in their place and as you aren't forming a path you don't need to worry about loads of sub base under them.
