I was just wondering how far the definition of a lawn goes. Is there a specific dimension or you can still have one acre of well-maintained grass and still call it a lawn?
I would think it stops being a lawn when you get to the edge of it.:laughing:
Did you look up the definition of "lawn" before you posted this query?
How about cultivated grass that is closely mowed. My lawn is alot bigger than an acre, Versailles stretches out for miles.
A lawn is however much you want to mow. What I like is a yard, rather than a lawn. Our yard when I was a kid had some lawn, some field, some garden and some woods.

If you maintain an acre and call it your lawn, then it's your lawn. I think what you're asking is how big a lawn is reasonable. To me, and this is only my opinion. I think anything over an acre or so is a nicely kept field rather than a lawn. I don't think there are any hard and fast "rules" to how big a lawn can be, though.

My "Lawn" is 3 acres. It's what I mow on a weekly or more basis. My fields are a few more acres of which I hay twice a year. Thats mowed too I guess for the purpose of bailing. So I would say if you maintain it weekly as a groomed growth than it would qualify as a lawn. The white house has a lawn that is several acres as well.
