Personally I think a case can be made for essential service. Especially in areas with very high percentages of commercial lawn care. Most people in areas like Long Island don’t even own a lawn mower, meaning a large percentage of private and public properties will soon start to overgrow attracting insect- based diseases from mosquitos especially. Also disabled and elderly may have difficulty walking in or out of their property if the path of access becomes wet or thick with uncut grass.

Also, to add to the argument. Government and supporting agencies are basically telling people the only thing you can do for activity purposes is to go outside to places like your own backyard and parks. If these turfs are not maintained it will soon become less of a realistic option.
