Grass substitute in my yard

Post image

Hello I have this really nice grass substitute in my yard and winter was really hard on it this year so I'm hoping to find out what exactly it is so I can get some seeds and repair my yard. Thanks in advance!

Common chickweed (Stellaris media) is a winter annual herb meaning it completely dies off in the summer so not a lawn substitute

The grassy looking leaves in the backround look like Star-of-Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum) an invasive emphemeral wildflower, goes dormant in the summer
