If you live in a place where grass grows naturally then this is not an issue.
In gardens, where I live, we spend more time making sure grass doesn’t grow where we don’t want it to. Grass only stop growing here when we approach winter and the temperature drops below 7c. Then in early spring, when the temps get above 7c. it start growing again, and we have to start mowing the lawn at least once a week again.

If you have a patch of land with nothing’s growing on it here, grass will be one of the things that just starts growing there on it’s own. No care or speciel attention required.
