Dry grass is a lovely brown color, as attractive as green. And it doesn't
require mowing or anything else. It revives every year too, when wet
weather comes again. 

I also let my grass go wild. There are a lot of interersting tiny flowers
in it in the spring, and something other than grass has taken over under
the trees, apparently better adapted to permanent shade. The one thing I
do do annually, is "superseed" - just reseed the whole lawn in the spring. 
This fills in between the non-grass plants very nicely.
