Opting for a Polite Garden
In considering to have a garden in your front yard, it is advisable that you are well aware of the responsibilities you are putting on your shoulders as tending a garden and maintaining lawns may require some of your free time. It is also good that you know how to keep your garden or lawn as polite as possible.
Some people, not exactly realizing it, have impolite front lawns. These are lawns that are poorly maintained: long, unkempt grass, untrimmed trees with branches overshadowing parts of the roof thus helping with the growth of moss and lichens on the roofs or blocking the view of the house or the neighbor’s house, and plants that are not taken care of and starting to wither. Poorly maintained lawns are considered impolite since they attract negative impression from the neighbors and other people who may come to pass by the neighborhood. Moreover, lawns like these tend to offend the neighbors especially if the sight is affecting the over-all appeal of the neighborhood.
Also, lawns that are extensively or overly decorated are also considered impolite as it may create the feeling of uneasiness or envy among people. Polite gardens and lawns on the other hand are pleasing to look at but don’t raise any emotion, good or bad. These lawns and gardens are well kept, with plants, grass and trees constantly watered and trimmed. The landscaping and designs of these lawns are in harmony with those of the neighbors’ lawns, not drawing so much attention to its self.
