I really don't understand the obsession people have with lawns. Obviously it depends a great deal where you live, but we only mow once or twice a month, and never use fertilizer or irrigation. It's not a perfect monoculture, but so what. There are also lots of flowers; large patches of clovers, dandelions, wild carrots. It benefits the bees. I'm surprised that many years of people mowing their lawns hasn't evolved plants which don't waste resources growing above the mow height. Perhaps the trait could be selectively bred into them manually.
