Today's lawn is pretty much a tiny copy of the Estate Grounds that the Aristocrats used to have.
And they were spraying all kinds of nasty shit on grass that isn't native to make it look pretty?
Nah they just used the poors to take care of it.
Which I guess is still sorta true today.
The "that isn't native" part is mostly a US problem. The reason they aren't native here is that Europeans brought over the same turfgrass species they'd been using at home.
"Kentucky bluegrass," for instance, is actually native to Europe, despite the name. Ditto for fescue, bermudagrass, etc.
Yes they used literal shit, both animal and human.
I can't answer that but it really wouldn't surprise me. The ruling class commonly imported plants and animals from all over the world.
No pictures exist, obviously, but I'm quite sure that groundskeepers were doing whatever was necessary to make their Lords estate look as good as possible.
