I recognize that this is a somewhat controversial opinion, especially given the downvotes you had when I stumbled across the comment, but I want to say that I agree and think our current views towards lawns, grass, and weeds are a point of cultural insanity.
I grew up in northern MN, and routinely people would spray disgusting pesticides in their lawns that would drift across the neighborhood, all to get rid of dandelions. Why? Dandelions are flowers, and not just regular flowers, but ones that kids like me enjoyed kicking or blowing on when they went to seed. These people created dead zones for plants and animals all for some bizarre aesthetic that doesn't even look good. I'm hoping newer generations will find big lawns as ugly and gag-inducing as I do.
Get rid of your lawn. Fill the space with gardens, mini-farms, and native pollen-producing plants.
