lawn

Yard's green carpet

A lawn is an area of grass kept mowed and maintained, typically surrounding a house or in a park.

The ideal lawn is uniform, green, and weed-free—a suburban standard that requires considerable water and care.

Lawn also names a fine, sheer fabric used in clothing, from the French city Laon where it was made.
