You don't have to replace it all at once. Do some winter sowing of clover, fine fescue and other flowers so they bloom in the spring. They will make your lawn less maintenance and pollinator friendly. Since you don't invest as much you won't feel bad as you chunk off portions for whatever you want.

I planted self heal and English daisies from Flawn over my already White Dutch Clover filled lawn in the late fall. Hopefully I get some by the spring. I also had some good luck with their sweet alyssum under our roses last year.
