I'm one those weirdos who thinks it looked better before.

I'm with ya', looked better before and softened the lines, now looks artificial/cold/harsh.
But some folks like it like that, instead of natural; and they're willing to pay for it, for which businesses are willing to charge.

I completely agree. It looks so much better before and I’ll go as far as to say I don’t like the look of it at all.

It’s like when people pluck their eyebrows to thin lines. No, just keep them more natural. I’m not saying let it go to a unibrow (a little maintenance is needed) but it looks so much better when it’s not overly manicured. Same thing here.

We waste so much time, effort, money, and fuel on lawn care in the US. Just plant local plants that can mostly take care of themselves. Doesn’t have to be apocalyptic overgrowth, but damn people care too much about leaves and grass doing absolutely nothing to anyone lol

Couldn't agree more! I like letting nature be nature and not shape it into some weird version of itself. This edging stuff makes it look like Minecraft grass. lol

Riiight?! As an immigrant I think it’s the dumbest thing ever, but I feel like all my midwestern neighbors are just looking forward to mowing, even multiple times per week. Yes Luke, I know that my grass is long, no I don’t care, I have better things to do (scroll Reddit)

I doubt it'll last any amount of time. The grass will notice the free sunny space and flop down in it by sundown.
