So I'm relying on the guys that come around periodically with the electric strimmer and paying them to cut it back. So how would I, preferably with the smallest amount of effort, restart the lawn from scratch? It's a small lawn, maybe 25 sq m or so, but it's an utter disgrace as it stands. Thanks.

Can you tell us where you live so that we might have some chance of working what this problem plant is. Even better take a photo, put it on a photo-sharing site, and give us a link (and tell us where you live). Incidentally if it was bamboo an ordinary petrol-powered lawnmower would go through it no problem, assuming it was still short enough to mow. Indeed, planting a lawn around it and keeping it mowed is one of the best ways to keep bamboo confined.
