That's gorgeous! And a good point, another aspect of why a lawn might not be doing well, or even desirable to try. Do you live in a dry climate? There's no location or zone info with your profile.
Not at all a concern in my climate, quite the opposite, where grass grows too fast, so fast it's annoying & wastes a lot of time (and $) with the mowing. There's also the pollution and noise from the mower to consider. All very unpleasant and unnecessary if other plants are used. That's what inspires my desire to find/encourage plants that don't get so tall. Life's too short to keep mowing the same grass so often, and don't want anything with leaves big enough for snakes to hide in/under.
