I grew up in a small mountain town where only a handful of houses had lawns. I'm going to guess that they're a vestige of when homes used to have their own grazing animals. The animals are gone, but the aesthetic has persisted.
Now, I live in a suburban neighborhood that's all lawns. I'm trying to gradually convert ours into flower beds and gardens, but with our HOA I have to do it very incrementally.

We're not allowed to have chickens. It's one of the main reasons that we're open to moving.
