Reply To: Lawn

[Roland Beinert]

I guess I’m ok with lawn as long as it really serves a purpose, is sized for that purpose and there’s an appropriate type of grass for whatever region. But I think sometimes lawn is used as an easy way out of finding a better solution. There’s plenty of alternatives out there. They don’t take quite as much foot traffic, but a lot of times lawns are very rarely used as intended, anyway. Sometimes there’s even areas where no one’s allowed to walk on the lawn.
Also, does anyone else find lawn boring? I think huge areas with just lawn are pretty monotonous. Sometimes I secretly root for the dandelions simply because they add a little interest.
Here’s a website I’ve always liked: http://www.stepables.com/
