I was wondering if the cold climate hinders some of the nicer kinds of grass from growing and you have little choice but to grow junkier looking varieties of grass, or something.

It takes money/effort to have a carpet lawn. You'll find them in the wealthier neighbourhoods. Visit the Wolseley district to see some charming old homes with beautiful yards full of tall indigenous flowers and grasses.
