No originality in home owners

Why do home owners and mansion owners (especially) all have grass in their yards?

It takes all the work in caring by having to pay for it to be cut. If it's a mansion with large land it'll take more care in even watering the yard.

If I owned a house or a mansion I'd first get rid of the grass and have either some sort of colorful, smooth rocks and/or those wood chip things. Then I wouldnt have to keep up with having grass cut or watered and would be the unique one on the block with differing colorful rocks to a fly looking landscape scheme lay out for the front, sides, and back yard. My yard would be dope boy fresh.

Grass is way played out. Plus, who wants to keep hearing the noise of lawnmoers close up from time to time?

That is all. Now get the fuck off my yard!

 

grass soaks up water decreasing the chance of floods.
everyone round here has it paved over.

 

Grass is old news, bones on the ground scattered about are in...

 

Clearly youve never owned a mansion. If you live in a mansion, you get a gardener, period.

 

Grass is beautiful. I would never own a mansion anyway, but the more grass the better. I have five dogs, and they sure would enjoy it, as would I so I could play with em, hang out, barbecue, have a get together. I guess I like nature. I live in one of the biggest cities in the US. Landscape is coveted round here. I abhor asphalt.

 

Grass is amazing. SO soft. SO refreshing. I got angry with mymom when she put wood chips in the garden over real earth, even.

 

I know. its disgusting. Old lady's grandson plans on having a beautiful 60 year old oak in the front yard cut down because he doesnt wanna rake leaves. I told him to hire a mexican to rake the yard. twenty bucks gets your whole yard done. cheap lazy bastard. why cut a tree because your old fat ass doesnt wanna rake leaves. it pissed me off.

 

hahahaha that sounds funny to me

 

Who says that you have to mow the lawn to begin with? Let the jungle grow! Fuck them property values.

 

i'd want cool, tall, ornamental grasses...or bamboo or something.....

bigass mansion in a tiny little prarie?

 

I don't have grass in my garden... all the gardens out here are paved over or have picon in it. I have both!

Come to think of it though... I have another type of grass growing on the roof :H

 

we rent...in the desert and the owners insist on having a lawn even though we pay the water bill...our water bill is high. I don't know how high since I don't pay the bills, but I know it is high.
We can't buy because we are only going to be here another year. We might move though closer to Andy's work since I work from home. A place with more land would be nice...right now we live in the typical 3 bedroom track home. everyone has lawns and rosebushes.
If it were up to me I would pull out our rose bushes and put in draught tolerant lavender and sun trees and take the lawn out and put in wood chips, flag stones, a solar fountain and dessert rock roses.

 

i'm a city boy...so even having a small patch of grass one day would be nice

 

There's a really big backyard here. I love it, I go out there and play with Jack all the time. The grass is super green and there's yellow and purple wildflowers growing, also dandelions. I often see squirrels playing around, today we saw a red robin and there were this three other birds walking around. It's so alive, it's beautiful.

 

I'd love for my whole yard to be a zen sand garden.
...'round here it would probably turn into a big mud puddle though.

 

What do you want instead? Moat?

 

Chrome

 

is a pit of molten lava too much to ask for?

 

I don't have grass. I have dirt. And mud when it rains. Stupid shade and dog poop.

 

Some cities are encouraging people to grow grass on the tops of buildings. Not that funny grass, just regular grass. It keeps a city cooler, gives off oxygen, etc.
