I mean, as I said, there is a difference between clearing a space and putting grass. Perhaps this kind of grass just grows over there and it just needs to be mowed, idk. But over here you actually have to clear everything else, get rid of the trees because they'll probably ruin the grass, and then pay to put it there, and even after all is said and done, it looks dumb and you have to water it all the time. Trees are much nicer and people should really try to use stuff that is native to the place they're in to grow in their garden instead of both killing the stuff that is already there and wasting tons of water just to have something that looks like this. Again, if it is something that just grows naturally like that, it's alright although I'd still put some trees.

I have a friend who has a summer home with an incredible backyard, or at least half of an incredible backyard. Half of it is lawn, and then the other half is where they grill, it's very cozy and has nice trees that make shade. No one ever goes to the part with the lawn. I also have a neighbour with an amazing garden and his doesn't have any lawn at all, he does however have a nice patio which fits many people and a well in the middle which looks very cool. He's like 95 years old so it's not like he does any serious maintenance on it either, apart from weeding out some places every now and then. It was still a very awesome garden to play in when we were little.

Legit the only reason people here started having lawns is because they saw it in movies and they thought "wow turns out this is fancy, we should have that too".
