The kind of grass I’m growing doesn’t get that high except a couple weeks in the spring when it’s going to seed. The rest of the time falls over and lays down, looking like a wind-swept meadow, so the overall height is no more than around 15cm. High enough that you couldn’t see my shoes, but it looks relatively well-kept.
Here’s some pictures of this kind of grass. It has some limitations on what kind of conditions it grows well in, but there are several different similar species that gives options.
There are also options to replace grass with other low ground cover plants like clover or thyme. And also definitely, you should work to change your local ordinances on pawn maintenance to be more eco-friendly.
