People are insane about lawns in Florida.

Sandy soil that's so nutrient-deficient that you can't grow anything without chemical fertilizer.

And then the damn St. Augustine that everyone obsesses about (a) still needs watering during the summer if it rains too little & (b) gets aggressively eaten by fungus if it rains too much.

It's seemingly not uncommon for people to resod their lawn every few years. And they replant the same grass type that just died!

I remember visiting people in Vero Beach and they told me that I shouldn't step barefoot on their lawn and not let my dog on it because they sprayed it so much.

Many HOAs require a specific type of grass so they might have no choice.
