With suburban expansion, the lawn has become culturally ingrained in some areas of the world as part of the desired household aesthetic. The term 'lawn', referring to a managed grass space, dates to at least the 16th century. In recreational contexts, the specialised names turf, pitch, field or green may be used, depending on the sport and the continent.

Many city parks also have large lawn areas. Lawns are used around houses, apartments, commercial buildings and offices. Lawns are usually composed only of grass species, subject to weed and pest control, maintained in a green color (e.g., by watering), and are regularly mowed to ensure an acceptable length.
