I know this is not the point of this but raking (and mowing) lawns needs to stop being a thing. It's bad for the lawn, the plants around, the essential bugs, and bad for the environment. Even aesthetically, it looks bland and stupid.

I think monoculture lawns look really cool and doubly so if they are neat and clean with some nice landscaping to pair. It can be gorgeous.

Unfortunately, it's unethical, unsustainable, and I will avoid it myself, but to say it looks bland and stupid seems like your prerogative is to shame other people into doing the right thing. Which, good luck with that.

That's fair, probably just my subjective opinion. But i don't understand why so many people don't find a diversity of plants and colors more beautiful and simulating to the mind than a monoculture. It's your prerogative to think it looks nice too i guess.

A lot of people don't have the artistic capability and aren't willing to put in the effort to make an entire diverse yard landscape look good, let alone maintain it. Now, when well done, of course a diverse yard can also look great.

But, it's not like you can just neglect your yard and mother nature will bless you with a beautiful ecosystem in time because of your good intentions. You're going to be dealing with dead shit, non-native weeds, non-native insects. And depending on where you live there might not be a whole lot of anything lively to look at entirely naturally occurring.

You have me curious what your landscape looks like if you are a homeowner.

I also think it looks really wasteful and ugly. Seriously I dont understand how beauty is in the eye in the beholder in this case.

I do think lawns need maintenance but not every Monday morning at 6AM holy shit fuck you lawnmowers.
