Ridiculously bougie in the US means “no meth zombies running up to your car when you stop at a red light”, correct?
No, bougier. Like mansions and supercars and garages the size of my house and gigantic yards with topiaries. Absolutely crazy shit that screams "We have fuck you levels of money"
It's honestly kind of disgusting, tbh.
Bugs don't care what type of green you have in your lawn. You can even mow.
Just don't spray insecticide on your lawn.
Edit: also, why the fuck would you remove existing lawn to replace it with new growth? That's like indiscriminately bulldozing every home in a city to rebuild them with whatever is the current trend in sustainable housing. Where do people live in the mean time? Please don't let this person, or me for that matter, inform your opinion.

I mean I'd rather have my entire yard and have no bugs live close to me and not have to worry about the grass. Would absolutely love getting rid of all plants near me except maybe having one little greenhouse to grow some weed in. Insects and bugs of any kind are not welcome anywhere I might encounter them.
