They have grass blends so that whatever species is best suited to the conditions takes root. They only need to be cut a few times a year, grow in shade, full sun and are drought tolerant.

Actually, many people are happy not to have grass monocultures. However, that desired mix usually doesn't include dandelions, because they're fugly once they've gone to seed and partially floated away. They're also quite the invasive plant, that grows like a metastatic cancer.The dandelion is an awesome plant. Beautiful colour, beautiful when gone to seed, damn hard to kill and tasty in a salad. I love seeing them cover the ground with yellow in springtime; they're so bright and happy looking.
Why this obsession with short manicured grass monocultures anyway? Maintaining such an artificial state requires so much time, energy, water, fertilizers, etc...
Except when they're embedded in your friends' kids' feet.these are nice too:

and they require absolutely no effort.

A city inspector walked down our back lane taking pictures of garages and fences that had been graffitied. The owners now have letters threatening fines if cleanup not done.
I know, the left wing nuts is punishing the home owner because some idiot vandalize private property,how insane is that?.Why dont you use the same by law officers and have them go after those who selling the specialty paint and those actually tagging.Why is the morons and the king arsh of City Hall not banning those selling the paints.Before you say Canadian Tires sells them its NOT the same paint its a special quick drying paint that taggers uses.
