Lawns were something that wealthy people in the past used to ostentatiously show their wealth.
To maintain a rich green manicured lawn required a lot of resources. It wasn't to grow food for humans or livestock, so showed they were so wealthy they could afford to waste a lot.
Flash forward, and so many of us STILL imitate this, albeit on a small scale. Some will even judge others based on their lawn.
