>eliminates habitat for rodents and insects directly around buildings
>lets stormwater soak into the ground rather than immediately running off, filters contaminants from whatever does run off
>thick mass of fibrous roots that prevent erosion
>grassy areas absorb and retain less heat than concrete, gravel, or asphalt
>easy to maintain with machinery instead of manually
>can be dug up and quickly replaced to access underground infrastructure
>keeps flammable fuel down to a reasonable level that slows or stops the spread of fire
>can drive or park on it without causing immediate harm
