It's very tough modding alone. That's the reason I've abandoned so many maps. I don't know if you're good at shaders, but parallax mapping could give a nice look for grass. It uses the GPU, so it would save on the CPU. I think a graphic overall should be done with shaders. I can't imagine redoing all the textures.

Edit: I don't know if this would be helpful, but it looks good with stone.

Here is a video of what I was thinking could be done by parallaxing the grass:
