lawns

Cultivated grassy areas

Lawns are areas of grass kept short by regular mowing, typically surrounding houses or covering parks and recreational spaces.

The lawn emerged as a status symbol—land devoted to appearance rather than agriculture.

Maintaining one requires watering, fertilizing, and cutting: He spends every Saturday on lawn care.

Lawn also modifies related items: lawn mower, lawn chair, lawn party.
