Convert a hellstrip into clover (or something else)? (slrpnk.net)

Hi folks. The hellstrip in front of my apartment is, well, a hellstrip for sure, it's very sad looking with some patchy grass for dogs to pee on. Is there anything I could do to convert it into something nicer? I've been reading about guerilla planting but I don't really have the physical ability to go downstairs and water it, weed it etc like a full garden with shrubs and stuff, but I could probably get my partner to throw some water on it occasionally when they come home from work.

Probably asking for a miracle here, but is there anything I can just sprinkle over the area that'll take over and turn into something nice?

It does get mowed :C I would really love to spread wildflowers there if not. As for salt - my road almost never gets salt in the winter (thanks city council for turning a drive to get groceries into Spicy Bumper Cars) so that's no worry! Any suggestions on somewhere else I could put the wildflowers? My city is remarkably well-maintained in the mowing department, much to my dismay
