We have mostly St. Augustine, and big patches of fungus that killed it all, because "lawns" really don't belong in Florida at all. This climate just outright rejects them, and forces people to spend a lot of money maintaining something that shouldn't be there in the first place.
So once in awhile I dig up all the dead patches and let WHATEVER grows, grow in. And then we mow it when it and the rest of the lawn needs to be mowed. It's all green, looks like every other green part of our lawn. Meanwhile, the birds, spiders, snakes, squirrels, beetles, bees, wasps, butterflies, and and other creepy crawlies and flying things love our lawn, which is how it should be. I don't live on my lawn. These critters do. It's their home. I'm happy that their home is habitable for them.
