• What’s the problem with lawns?¹
  Despite their aesthetic appeal, traditional lawns are resource intensive and ecologically disruptive. Lawns in the United States, covering approximately 40 million acres—about 2% of the nation’s land area—pose significant environmental challenges. They consume vast amounts of water, with homeowners using over 3 trillion gallons annually, accounting for nearly 30% of residential water use nationwide. In arid regions like the Southwest, this can rise to 60% of household water consumption.Lawn care equipment, particularly gas-powered machines, generate noise levels that can damage hearing. Noise levels above 85 dB are considered hazardous and can cause hearing damage. Gas-powered lawn mowers typically range from 86-92 dB, leaf blowers range from 95-106 dB, and string trimmers range from 98-106 dB.²
