What animals make good "lawn mowers" for a fenced in food forest?

I'm looking at building a food forest, and was wondering what breeds of animals will make the best "lawn mowers", but leave my trees/bushes "alone".

In summer the sliding door to the garden is open and insects come in through it

I enjoy having the sliding door open in warm weather. After the sliding door are some stone slabs and then lawn and plants. Are there any tricks that really help to have less or no insects? I would like to avoid chemicals if possible.
