There is more than native grasses. Ticks are a result of mismanaged habitat, I don't have any in my yard despite them being around. I have dogs, no fleas ever either. If you don't want to do it, fair. But those aren't legit reasons.
I recommend talking to native landscapers in your region and university extension offices in your state. They have a wealth of knowledge and can help you get going. There are shade loving and shade tolerant native plants. Just because 99% of people do it, doesn't mean it works best.
