That works up to a certain size. Beyond that it's just an anachronistic emulation of an aristocratic manor house with wealth displayed by all the hard working servants cutting an immaculate lawn by scythe.

That's ridiculous.

Having people cook for you used to be reserved for rich people. Are you emulating slave owning aristocrats when you go to a restaurant?

To some degree, that's probably the case.

Almost no one thinks of that when they think of lawns. They are admired by many because they are aesthetically pleasing to many, which incidentally is why they were maintained by the aristocrats in the first place.

Who are we to impose our aesthetic sensibilities on others.
