The Secret Life of Lubbock Lawns: What Your Yard Says About You

When you walk out to collect your mail in the morning, take a look around at your neighbors' lawns. You'll notice that each yard has its own personality, a secret life, if you will. On the surface, it may just look like some patchy grass and shrubs, but each lawn tells the story of who lives inside the house.

Lubbock lawns are just great (or horrendous) landscaping — they're a confession.

Some lawns whisper, "I gave up after the last hail storm". Others scream, "I've got more fertilizer than my owner knows what to do with". And, well, a few of them...they're just experimenting to find out what happens when you let the wind dictate your aesthetic.

The truth about Lubbock lawns is, around here, the grass is truly greener on the other side, or was, at least, until your 84-year-old neighbor accidentally reversed and came rip roaring through that delicately maintained flower bed.

We've all got our own style when it comes to lawncare. Here are a couple of lawn fads you might recognize in your own Lubbock neighborhood.

Most Lubbock lawns are less about curb appeal and more about freedom of expression. Your lawn is a little autobiography of YOU. Do you think it represents you well, or are you slacking a little on pruning the rose bushes this year? Don't fret. As long as the city doesn't send you a warning letter, you're probably doing just fine.

The next time you pass a Lubbock lawn, don't just look at the house; read the yard. It'll tell you everything you need to know about the person inside, because in Lubbock, the tea is really in the turf.
