AESTHETICS & VALUE
green cover is important
While grass is great for recreation, green cover is what creates many of the other big benefits, like keeping suburbs and homes cool and giving shade for walking, running and active transport.
It also brings wildlife into suburbs and makes them more appealing to the eye which, in turn, can make them more valuable.
