[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in NW DC and now live in Silver Spring and OP is totally right. The lawns in my area are all neat and tidy. I went for a walk around Chevy chase DC and was jarred by how not as neat or well cared for the lawns are.

In my neighborhood most people care for their lawns themselves. Some people get lawn services but not many. My guess is that most people in Northwest DC don’t have the time or maybe even the skills to care for their lawns themselves, but the lawn services are really expensive since there aren’t any working class people in the area. And maybe for some reason upper middle-class white people in DC aren’t as obsessed with keeping their lawns neat? Certainly seems that way

I don’t really care one way or the other. I don’t particularly prefer one way or the other. But what was jarring is that when I first moved to my neighborhood, I felt the tidiness of the lawns was a bit much. And then when I went walking around Chevy Chase after a while, I was like, what’s up with all these people who don’t cut their lawn? It was interesting because my perception changed based on living in a neighborhood with neater lawns for a while.[/quote]
