We love our lawns in the U.S. In contrast to other countries, many houses in America have both front and back lawns — two spaces that aren’t filled with usable crops like vegetables, but by plain green grass.

Talk to any suburban dad, and you’ll learn just how proud someone can be of their lawn, even if all they do with their lawn is maintain it. This is already strange enough for many people in other countries who insist their lawn has a “use,” but the thing that’s even stranger is how some lawns can develop “lawn bubbles” or “lawn blisters.”

This is when water pools under turf and causes a bump that must be popped. While these can be easily solved by popping, and prevented by ensuring that the sod is properly bonded to the soil, the fact that it happens at all has many people asking what the heck we’re doing over here.

Hello, we’re admiring our fluorescent green lawns!
