A lot of aesthetic senses are more personal preferences, and can change. I, too, used to think that about uniform, healthy, green grass and had the same attitude about minimal effort at maintaining a lawn.

I think many people would be surprised by how much of their own personal preferences are informed and conditioned by culture.
