A lawn is an area of land planted with grass, and sometimes clover and other plants, which are maintained at a low, even height.
Usage
Lawns are a standard or essential feature of ornamental private and public gardens and landscapes in much of the world today. Lawns are created for aesthetic use in gardens, and for recreational use, including sports. They are typically planted near homes, often as part of gardens, and are also used in other ornamental landscapes and gardens.
Lawns are also a common feature of public parks and other spaces. They form the playing surface for many outdoor sports, cutting erosion and dust as well as providing a cushion for players in high impact sports such as football, cricket, baseball, golf, tennis and bowling. In sports venues, the term lawn is usually replaced by turf or green.
