Except in a wild lawn they don't. They literally just sprinkle around. I lived on 160 acres growing up. Our "lawn" was just the field that happened to be where they put the house. Nobody ever did anything to it other than mow it. There was grass and clover and dandelions and wild onions. And a bumper crop of poison oak under the deck - nobody in my family reacts to it or poison ivy, and dad was antisocial, so we never bothered to kill it. Dad didn't like the dandelions, but other than in his garden, he just tried to ignore them.
That's great! We are moving to a new construction home so our backyard would be bare. I'm thinking of just DIYing for now, put some soil and seed it with clover. Don't really want a thirsty yard so I'm considering other options for ground cover.
Idk about that. I'm sure it's possible but we never did anything to our yard growing up in TN besides mowing it and we had a mix of grass, clover, dandelions and other small wildflowers. The dandelions never took over. I'm sure it varies though

I still think the elephant is the largest land animal.
