Grows to a height of four to eight inches in a thick mat that tolerates low mowing. The clover spreads to fill in empty spaces and it stays green through dry periods of summer. The clover provides nitrogen (up to 2 pounds of n/1000 square feet) for the other grasses in the lawn, eliminating the need to fertilize.
You need to at least consider planting some "White Dutch Clover" in your lawn. It is important as a source of food for honeybees and rabbits. All rabbits will make a feast on the clover and insects come to feed on the nectar and pollen. When I was growing up people didn't plant grass seed in their lawns but kept whatever was growing and mowed it as if it was grass. And all yards came with White Dutch Clover as it would fill in bare spots and there was the possibility that you might be very lucky and find at least one "four leaf clover."
