Landscape architect Attila Tóth argues that maintaining a perfectly green lawn is a constant battle against the climate and unsustainable practice. He highlights the issue of using potable water for lawns, especially during droughts, and suggests even well water should be used sparingly. Tóth emphasizes the importance of considering whether a lawn is truly necessary in a garden, advocating for more thoughtful landscaping choices. He believes a rigid mowing schedule – such as every Saturday – is detrimental and calls for a more sensitive approach to lawn care. The expert suggests prioritizing water conservation and ecological responsibility when designing and maintaining outdoor spaces. Ultimately, he encourages homeowners to rethink the conventional ideal of a vibrant green lawn in light of environmental challenges.
