This paper aims to examine how the front lawn—a piece of land in front of or around a single detached house and kept covered with grass—has developed in the U.S. and how residential landscape has changed as a result. In particular, seeing this as a cultural phenomenon, it examines the major socio-cultural developments that led to the embrace of the lawn and its characteristics. It also focuses on the desire for the perfect lawn and its evolving concept as the leading factor that has driven American lawn culture to the current extreme. The paper examines the major developments of the front lawn in three periods. First, it traces the origin of the front lawn by looking at the rise of the ideal of suburban living and the aesthetic desire for the lawn after the mid-19th century. It then examines the major factors, including golf, that led to the popularization of the front lawn ideal in the first half of the 20th century, how the characteristics of America's lawn culture favored the ideal of the perfect lawn, and how emerging consumer culture fostered such an ideal during this period. Following this, the paper looks at the democratization of the front lawn after World War II. It especially examines how the prewar ideal of the perfect lawn led to an obsessive concern with the green look that made postwar American lawn culture increasingly absurd and problematic in years that followed and looks at the lawn-care industry's stake in its continuation. Finally, the paper concludes with a brief note on the ecological critiques of the front lawn and the suggestion for its future sustainability.
