Using native grasses for landscaping has become very popular here in the US. Machetes and hand sickles are the perfect tool for maintaining native grasses.
In early spring, dead leaves and flower stalks should be cut-back to provide space for new growth. Hand sickles and machetes are perfect for removing dead, unsightly vegetation. Last year's growth should be cut to about 4-6 inches above ground level.
Additionally, machetes can be used to divide overgrown clumps of grasses into smaller clumps for replanting.
Yeah, if you don't maintain your native grasses, it'll get out of control. A machete is great for this.
