Letting the grass to grow allows wind-pollinated grasses to flower and they are the major source of pollen-based allergies in most temperate zones excluding certain northern countries (Sweden, Russia, Norway). This can also be very hard on people suffering asthma and related lung ailments. It is more sensible to reduce the size of your grass area by planting low growing or trailing perennials or even bulbs. Do you want to help pollinators in your area? Plant a couple of native, mass-flowering shrubs or smaller trees that are known to be insect pollinated as the Chinese and Japanese do with their native cherries and plums and North Americans favor redbuds, dogwoods and serviceberries. Australians, you have wonderful choices in your wattles (Acacia), eucalypts, ti-trees and many, many more.
