THE ORDER OF GRASSYLINGUS
INTERNATIONAL LAWN STANDARDS COMMISSION
“FOR LAWNS WORTHY OF RESPECT.”
Our History
The Order of Grassylingus traces its origins to a small fellowship of homeowners who believed that a well-kept lawn was more than a matter of appearance—it was a reflection of discipline, responsibility, and respect for one's community.
What began as a shared commitment to orderly turf gradually evolved into an international tradition of residential lawn stewardship. As neighborhoods expanded and standards varied, the need for a common doctrine became increasingly apparent. Thus, the International Lawn Standards Commission was established to preserve, promote, and advance the principles of exemplary lawn care.
Today, members of the Order continue this tradition through education, certification, and the pursuit of ever higher standards. Though our methods have evolved with time, our purpose remains unchanged:
To ensure that every lawn worthy of respect receives the care it deserves.
Our Mission
The Order of Grassylingus exists to promote the highest standards of residential lawn stewardship through the recognition of excellence.
We believe that a healthy, well-maintained lawn is more than attractive—it reflects care, discipline, and pride in one's home and community. By encouraging good practices, celebrating achievement, and providing a shared standard for lawn care, we aim to inspire homeowners everywhere to cultivate landscapes worthy of respect.
Whether you're maintaining your very first patch of grass or pursuing the highest rank within the Order, our mission remains the same:
To cultivate better lawns, stronger neighborhoods, and a lasting tradition of excellence.
