Understanding and Rethinking the American Lawn “I mow my own lawn”-Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan.

The west was just beginning to become settled by the Americans because the east coast was filled up and land was needed. The view of the west was in its natural state, not touched by a large group of humans yet.…
