I have a no more approach to both front and back lawns.
The front lawn favours longer grasses and other plants because it gets little human footfall – but does get cat worn paths or this year, flatten areas where foxes have played. I picked one of each sort of grass that I could find and these are what I think they are.

Grass or rather grass lands as grass is seldom just grass but a collection of different plants inc,using grasses, is often overlooked when thinking about biodiversity. Perhaps cause grass sounds rather boring. But grasses come in different sorts and heights and colours. Mixed with companion plants they create a variety of meadows and grasslands. This variety is created by and supports a diversity of wildlife. The height of the grass and the selection of companion plants at be determined by who is grazing the land. Land grazed by sheep will have a different range of plants from land grazed by cattle. And then depending on what grasses and plants thrive, so a variety of different insects are accommodated and with them a further variety of birds and small animals.
In gardens we can maintain different areas of grass at different levels and see how the variety of other plants and wildlife varies.
