Please let us change lawn textures.

No.

This would ruin the aesthetic of the wards.

There would be no logic behind one lawn having snow, the other pristine grass, etc.

Some people just want to make the world burn.

We don't have an HOA get outta here with that line of thought. If we did we wouldn't have giant Paissa homes staring my house down from every direction.
I quite like the idea, even if it's just to swap to the texture used in Ishgards housing area. It would be nice though, as an external fixture, to have multiple options. Some people may want a more dead-grass, or maybe a mossy look.
Perhaps one as a bunch of fallen leaves. There's lots of ideas behind this if it were to be an option, even though the work required is a bit more than just a new item request.

While I agree the logic misses the mark, the lawns in the wards do not function the same way the houses do, and they most certainly are not coded the way flooring, walls, and ceiling options are for the internal structure of a house. The best the dev team could do to accomplish this request is to release outdoor furnishings that would lay over the current designs in the wards. I would imagine there is a maximum size for this, and that size would likely be the same as a large garden or chocobo stable which occupy the same amount of space. This means the player would have to use up several slots to cover all the grass. This might then lead to some clipping issues with other furnishings.

IOW, adding different lawn types is a missed opportunity that should have happened when the housing system was designed and implemented. It would be a skin option much like the fencing and placard. To do it now would require redoing all the wards currently in existence, and with most wards filled across the game's DCs I just don't see this as something the devs would even consider.

It is a really nice thought though. I would really like it if we could do this.

All they have to do is make a texture change. You're just getting access to a texture change. The major work that is involved is only adding the new systems, and making sure it doesn't break anything. It's not different than changing the floor inside your house, and it shouldn't take up any space. I hate items that have to clumped together. With such a limited space in yards as it is, that is a terrible idea.

The lawns are not individually implemented like houses are. They are a fixed design to the ward itself. I'm afraid it's not that simple. Sorry.
