They should bring this method of maintaining the grass back.

I work next to a public park that uses this method. There's one BIG downside to having sheep on the lawn.

Downside for you, but I’m sure the fertilizer is good for the grass! I wonder if goats would be less likely to do this?

People use ducks in a similar way to remove pests from fields.

It's pretty adorable to watch the duck swarm at work.
