As I cruise around, I don't think there are as many of those lawns as there used to be. More and more people are paying attention to "best management" and should be recognized accordingly.
NHLAKES has a program called "LakeSmart" relative to lake friendly landscaping. I hope more and more over the next couple of years, shorefront owners will see their certification as a source of pride and as a marketing tool (Realtors, note, please). Instead of grass, Blueberry sod! Better for filtration and the geese don't like it. Mostly green most of the year instead of that dead grass look. And no mowing or fertilizing.
