    There are plenty of native grasses that exist, but they are largely overtaken by invasives.

      They’re also not very suitable for manicured lawns (as opposed to meadows or praries), which is why we imported the European grasses in the first place.

        It depends on the variety of grass. There are some low growing ones that are well suited for lawns. The main argument for the European ones is that they take hold and spread much more readily, because they are invasive.
