I think the primary benefit of a lawn is the sense of space it creates.  We live such crowded lives, our homes are full of clutter, our cities are so conjested, so stepping out onto a beautiful green empty carpet , with ornamental plants around the perimeter to identify its boundaries is the perfect way to enjoy the immensity of nature.  We need more space in our lives .
