Flat lawns and few trees doesn't sound like any New England I'm familiar with.

[nerdponx]

Certainly not in rural Maine or Vermont, but huge tracts of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut are like this.

Where? I grew up in the coastal area of MA, most of the yards had trees as far as I remember. Is this a Middle Mass thing?

I'd believe they clear cut their yards in Connecticut, but that's just because Connecticut is devoted to doing things as wrong as possible while still being part of New England.

I only live about 25 miles from Boston and I don't have any idea what you mean here.

Huge tracts of New Hampshire are flat and have no trees? Ahhh……The Lake District.
