The EPA reached an agreement with lawnmower engine manufacturers. So there really is an environmental significance to the lawnmower agreement. Perhaps, this will not be a real problem for homeowners. These properties already cost a substantial amount to keep neatly manicured. But let's go back to the environment again.

And the power equipment contributes to air pollution. So, beautiful lawns are generally not environmentally friendly. With engine costs likely to rise, as will likely operating costs, commercial property owners will take a second look at whether it still makes sense to maintain that golf-course look. The golf course look fits the traditional corporate image. But, that image is changing.
