What's with American's obsession with lawns? What's wrong with some flowers, some trees that provide shade maybe some veggies?

>>212799154 (OP)
we got plenty of trees and vegetation. don't worry

An open field makes it easier to shoot people who step onto your property

>>212799154 (OP)
It's like a little private sanctuary to play with your kids and dog or host outside parties with.

The lawn is my domain. My kingdom. It's an ordered, civilized space, not a wild one.

>>212799154 (OP)
I don't know, I've replaced my grass lawn with a clover lawn and all my boomer neighbors seethe "omg don't you want a nice lawn? isn't that a pain in the ass to deal with?" so I just guilt trip them about pollinators or something and it usually shuts them up.

>>212799154 (OP)
Bushes and trees provide shade for homeless

>>212799154 (OP)
It's brown-coded. The WASP-Yahve said they will go to niggerhell if they don't maintain the purity of their lawns, so they try their best.

>>212799154 (OP)
I like my lawn. And I like cutting my lawn.

>>212799154 (OP)
It's an absolutely disgusting culture.
>YEA JUST MOW THE LAWN AND RAKES THE LEAVES, TO MAKE IT AS REVOLTING AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO LOOK AT
what's worse is that you aren't allowed to simply not mow your lawn, if you don't the HAO's will come knocking on your door, crying about muh property values.
unfortunately, I have to go mow my lawn soon because I still live with my parents and they just LOVE clean lawns

>>212799154 (OP)
It’s an English aristocracy thing that was fed to the middle class by Big Lawn for the sole purpose of milking money out of them. You vil spend retarded amounts of money on that John Deere mower, that fertilizer, and that water. You vil pay the HOA fees for a single blade of grass on your lawn being 3/56th of an inch taller than the standard. And you vil be happy.

>>212799154 (OP)
you have to work 18 hours a day to survive so there's no time for gardening.

>>212799373
HAHAHAHAHA little Timmy upset he has to go mow daddy's lawn HAHAHAHAHAHA making the chores his parents give him sound like the end of western civilization HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>212799154 (OP)
Yeah, I don't get the appeal too. Like plant some trees and bushes, dude, it makes the place look alive

>>212799366
Beautiful. You should be proud.

North Americans have mastered the art of working even when they're not working, dedicating their free time to manicuring vast plots of sterile, flat lawn; land that yields neither fruit nor vegetable, only the satisfaction of having trimmed it precisely every three days

>>212799600
White people are mentally ill like that

>>212799549
I am. Will be even prouder when I get a better lawnmower instead of my 20 year old crap one that keeps dying. I want one with the fold down sides so I can cover more ground in a single swoop.

>>212799600
Agreed

>>212799671
your parents broke into this country so they could work three fast food jobs apiece.

it was a status symbol for palaces and estates in like baroque times and southerners used to be autistic about aristocracy and wanted to emulate it
now its a waste of water for dumb boomers to look at. lawns are retarded i tore mine up and replaced with with rocks

>>212799720
Yes my parents are mentally ill too for wanting to live with insufferable gringos

>>212799803
And you are mentally if for posting on 4chan

>>212799803
go back then pablo we dont want you here

>>212799803
*gringxs

>>212799435
Not at all, English people much prefer the organised chaos of weeds, trees, flowerbeds, etc in tightly-packed spaces than endless lawns

>>212800365
I said English (read ‘Norman’) aristocracy, not Nigel from Shatterton-upon-Fartwick.

>>212800365
I hear King Charles hates lawns with passion and is obsessed with bringing back natural landscapes.

>>212799200

americans live in pillboxes surrounded by killzones

>>212799154 (OP)
You need to understand Americans are mentally ill, and everything they do and create will reflect that mental illness
That's why they are circumcised goyslop-eating incel cucks

>>212800487
embarrassing post, cletus

>>212799154 (OP)
A scottish aristocrat came here and wanted to recreate the long open fields like back home, especially to play golf, and it caught on with the wealthy and then the poors. I think you're right. Ut's a retarded idea to put money and effort into maintaining. I advocate for cultivating plants but not specifically just manicured gold field grass.

>>212799154 (OP)
I grow tobacco and poppies on mine (the weed is in the back, kids will steal it), there's also a little ornamental cherry and some hostas.

>>212799154 (OP)
And what's weirder is these are the same guys talking about muh individualism.

Lawn you can spend 1 hour a week mowing and watering.
A garden is a full-time hobby.

>>212799154 (OP)
americans have mastered a truly sovless aesthetic that feels like you are alone on a hl2 map

>>212799154 (OP)
yeah stupid americans, why bother with lawn care if you can not cut it like we do in eastern europe to achieve maximum "sovl"

>>212799265
I replaced my grass lawn with clover and wildflower after most of the grass died after a flood, and my fucking town threatened to send me a citation for having an unkempt lawn. All the braindead boomers on my street seethe about it too, one told me that it was causing property values in the neighborhood to fall. Fuck em.

>What's with American's obsession with lawns?
Because we're retards
Also, to the morons in this thread who are like
>Bro it is a perfect sanctuary bro, I like it is because it is clean and ordered bro
1. You live with your parents
2. This is more a direct answer to OPs question, Home Owners Associations, many neighborhoods have quasi governments that can fine you if you dont keep your lawn in a certain way
Before you fucking morons sperg out and (You) me, I know you think you keep a manicured lawn because you want to, you dont, you do it because its a societal norm and you will be punished if you dont, I mean your parents, youre not a homeowner

>>212799154 (OP)
They could keep the lawn short and still plant some trees and bushes or something

The way I see it, the American psyche is very much moulded by the Faustian Spirit. Accordingly, a flat and manicured lawn is a tangible and physical representation of men and its order overcoming nature and chaos.

>>212801053
If you don't like it then you're free to live in a different neighborhood
>>212803855
Not allowed

>>212803603
>one told me that it was causing property values in the neighborhood to fal
how would that even make sense

>>212804044
>you live with your parents
No I don’t, I bought land and put a small trailer home on it.

>>212799265
The bees like the clover, but then it’s full of bees.
I made a little patch of clover off to the side for them.

Americans dont have this because the homeowner association would put them in jail

>>212805289
Nasty bugs and mice hide in that grass

>>212805289
The house I bought was like that, because it was owned by an elderly woman who did nothing to the garden.
And half the trees were dead, there was invasive vines all over killing everything and the house had mice and other insects.
I ripped it all up and they’re all dead now.

Based tamer of the land and master of nature

>>212799154 (OP)
My neighbor in our non HOA suburb uses his whole backyard to grow veggies. And that's a good thing!

>>212799154 (OP)
Favstian spirit of conquest. A fuck you to nature, tending your lawn in Phoenix surrounded by the desert. It's really American

>>212805289
looks good and supports the local fauna, from insects, to spiders, to little mammals and birds
very good

those things are literally dead center in the picture you posted.

anyways, all you can do with those things is look at them. a lawn is for working in, for playing in. you just spent all summer planting flowers, are you going to frolick through them and trample all of that hard work? no thanks, i want to play catch with my son.

>>212805345
You have birds and cats for that

Houses in my state have to be assessed by comparing other similar houses in the neighborhood (bedrooms, square footage, etc)
If the dumb boomer working for the town doing tax assessments thinks your house is a shithole and lowers the assessed value, it will skew the holy Zestimate [tm] and line will no longer go up.
Half of the fuckers on my block are rentoids so I dont even know why they're so buttmad.
