Lawns are our environmental helpers
Lawns and trees enhance life in the city. Special moments can be as simple as the smell of fresh grass in the spring or the silhouette of your favorite tree against the sky.
Landscapes soften the urban environment and lawns tie your home to the community in which you live. Lawns are the green carpet you look across, the padded surface your children play on, and the magic blanket that holds the soils of our earth in place.
In addition, the lawn absorbs rain water to replenish underground aquifers, adds cooling moisture to our hot summer air, removes pollutants and adds oxygen. Not bad for something you take for granted.
How can some people say lawns are environmentally unfriendly? There is a lot of ignorance out there, but in fairness, lawns don't belong everywhere. A good landscaper should know where to put the forest (your trees), the flowers, and how much lawn makes sense for your property.
