We've always left the weeds in our lawn as that's all that keeps it green when the grass dies during the dry summer months. The tortoises that go on it from time to time enjoy the weeds as do the wild rabbits and the moles love to tunnel in it as well. It also means that it doesn't matter when the kids wear out patches playing cricket and football it always come back as it was before.
