It's an out dated American tradition and no one uses them any more.

If we all got rid of our front lawns (and found some acceptable replacement... indigenous bushes, trees, etc that would not require frequent watering) that would be a huge savings there.

Why can't we do it?

 

putting green, maybe?




or synthetic turf

 

Soon as I have enough I am buying an artificial lawn.

 

it actually doesn't look all that bad



no more mowing the lawn ftw

 

i find lawns annoying...i'd say cement, extended parking space.

 

Eh...I just need a little spot of green.

 

yeah to hell with lawns, too bad my HOA fines me if i don't water my lawn and it dies

 

i saw the edit

 

to hell with lawn. the planet doesn't need any oxygen.

 

nope! cut down all the trees too, those water hogging POS's

 

Bah! I had the wrong thread.

But oh well.

 

Or, build a desalinization plant and pump in ocean water.

 

If I got rid of my front lawn, where would my neighbor's dog take a crap?

 

honestly, if it wasn't for HOAs and such, I'd definitely prefer all concrete. and install a lift or two in the back.

...not that i own a home or anything =(

 

The concern I have with artificial lawns is that they will need to be replaced every couple of years. They'll look good at first, and then go to crap as it ages and dogs crap on it.
