Being surrounded by natural lawn turf has a serene effect that helps improve overall health. Studies show that hospital patients with rooms that overlooked natural landscapes recover quicker, and have a reduced need for pain medications.

Mowing the lawn reduces stress and gives you a good calorie-burning workout. A 150 pound person using a push mower to cut grass will burn more than 400 calories per hour.

Also, grassy areas can reduce noise by up to fifty-percent, giving you a nice, quiet place to live or work. And people are less likely to toss trash on lawns that are lush and green.
