It takes a LOT of work for most people to go from lawn to native plants. Disturbed earth will grow invasives first. I’ve got an unwatered 10x20 space that I hand weed, carefully preserving natives and desirable volunteers. If I don’t stay on top of it, it’s all burr clover, Himalayan blackberry and puncture vine in no time. I had hope that if I could reestablish natives it would settle down and be maintenance free, but it’s been too many years to keep that dream alive.
