I think alot of is unirrigated. I also wonder if they may have an aversion to using herbicides. I was in DC last spring and was surprised by the turf quality but also took into account how huge the national mall is. To make this all lush beautiful turf would be one hell of a feat

DOGE probably cut the lawn maintenance budget by 90%

Fake news. Dear leader Trump has the greatest grass ever. So green, oh so green.

So many people walk on that. Its gonna be hard to keep alive
Edit i lived in DC for a while. The grass was only good when they had it fenced off

Nothing like how bad it looks in Tallahassee at the state capital here in Florida
I think too many people don’t understand how hot it actually gets in DC. How many people actually walk on that grass on a monthly basis? This also looks like someone scalped it in the middle of a heatwave as well too. There is no irrigation. It’s not watered so it will go dormant

It’s going to be standing area for a WWE event, so don’t waste tax dollars that can be used for more gaudy gold trinkets in The White House.

WE USED TO HAVE GREAT PARKS, THE BEST PARKS, THATS WHAT THEY SAY. THEY ALL SAY IT, THAT WE HAVE THE BEST PARKS. NOT ANYMORE (SAD!). THE GRASS IS WOKE, THATS WHY IT MUST GO. NO MORE DEI LAWNCARE, THATS WHY WE FIRED! ALL THE DEI PARKS EMPLOYEES. ONLY THE MERITED WILL WORK ON OUR LAWNS.

Actually thinking it’s nice they aren’t using our tax dollars for lush lush grass because I really like that new tank they just built for 20 million over green grass

It was a rough summer with no rain and high temps. Stress on my lawn has finally cleared
It’s great! Some say it’s the greatest lawn in the world.

They’ll just concrete it over like the Rose Garden

Nuke it. Restart

Lack of irrigation. Irrigation in my opinion is number 1. Then fertilizer and herbicide, mowing, etc….

They should turf it.

They deported all the landscapers.

How much $$$ would this realistically cost to maintain

Budget cuts.

It’s too dry. The entire east coast is several months into a drought, watering a lawn that big every few days would be an insane amount of water.

Based on the stupid hot weather, crazy foot traffic, and frequent festivals, it would probably take a very large amount of time and money to make this do better than that in the middle of August.

I live like 25 minutes up the road and everyone’s grass here is dead. We had a ton of rain and then like 97 degrees/99 percent humidity for 3 weeks. It is bad enough that my lawn chemical guys came around and did a free service for all customers because they had so many complaints.

Could always cement the entire thing, worked for the garden.

There are some things that you can quickly fix after four years of neglect and active sabotage, but a lawn of that size in a climate as hot and dry as DC might not be one of them.

You’d think the deep state would have more drought resistant roots

Drone or Washington monument window?
Everything is political.
Probably the tanks

I’m shocked it’s not a parking lot yet.
Thanks Obama
Need to send in the national guard to fix it
