Manicured grass is overrated.

Not only that but grass acts as mulch, holding in soil moisture among numerous other benefits. Lawn makes me yawn!

Manicured grass is overrated.

The average world citizen has certain associations one of them being mowed grass = well maintained area, wealthier area.

Las Vegas pays people to remove their lawns.

Manicured grass is overrated.

Manicured lawns do not harbour mosquitoes or ticks also done probably the mulch retains moisture and inhibits weed propagation.

Because they cannot water them for obvious reasons

Unfortunately it seems like the city has forgotten how to cut grass around trees. Very overgrown everywhere it seems

Worse yet is the City offers (or offered?) a program where you could have a tree planted with a little plaque in honour of a loved one and part of the payment you make includes them maintaining the tree and tree bed, yet almost every one I see has weeds/grass severely overgrown around it.

Forestry is supposed to have trim crews that cut the grass and weeds around their tree beds, but it must be severely understaffed because you hardly see any done. No idea why it isn't just a blended function between turf and horticulture who both already have trim crews. They all go to the same parks and public spaces.

311 is about as useless as a second asshole. They already closed my ticket even though nothing's been done about the overgrowth.

Ahem, naturalization.
