High grass holds all kind of goodies. Insects, rodents that eat the insects, and reptiles that eat all of the above. Now you installed a pond, that doesnt make "habitat". You have no transitional zones that animals use between good habitats. And the reason you dont is because you have a wife. So mow the grass faster so you have time to get out of the damn house and go somewhere that has all these fun things in excess. The more your place looks NICE the more time off for good behavior she should give you to hunt that stuff elsewhere....not really much else to so. The more your place looks like you might find a reptile hanging around the more time you are going to have to spend to correct that. Bottom line, pave the whole thing, you will have plenty of time to go do what you want without her complaining.
