Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and significance of lawn care in American culture, particularly the rise of the "beautiful green velvety sward" in the late 19th century. The author examines the development of specialized grass seed mixtures, lawn mowers, and other tools and techniques that transformed lawns from utilitarian spaces into symbols of status and domesticity. Through meticulous research and engaging prose, the book sheds light on the cultural, environmental, and social implications of the American obsession with perfect lawns, revealing the ways in which they reflect our values, aspirations, and anxieties. Ultimately, this book offers a fresh perspective on a seemingly mundane aspect of suburban life, arguing that lawns are not merely decorative but serve as a lens through which we can understand broader changes in American society.
