ungrassed
Lacking green turf
Ungrassed describes land or ground that lacks grass covering—either never having had it or having lost it: The ungrassed patches of the yard turned to mud after the rain.
The word appears mainly in descriptions of lawns, fields, or landscapes where grass would normally be expected but is absent.
