The characteristics were associated in the same way for the weedy lawn, but on opposite ends of the scale.
The weedy lawn looked unattractive,uncared for,and messy,but it did look natural and as if it required little maintenance.
Where more than half the lawn was replaced by the indigenous garden or where the garden was composed entirely of dense indigenous shrub,the clustering of characteristics was different.
Neatness was no longer associated with care and attractiveness.
For designers the results suggest that novel suburban landscape are more likely to be attractive if they look neat and well cared for.
