A man mowing the lawn outside a row of new houses

Pourbillions of litres of (mostly) drinkable water on them
Use nasty pesticides and chemical fertilisers to make sure they look as good as possible
Need fossil-fuelled mowers to keep them neat while they turn vibrant ecologies into deadening monocultures

End up with the feel of plastic underfoot
Have nasty recycling issues to address
Get no bio-climatic or carbon benefit and,
End up with significantly higher surface temperatures (no good for a planet that's getting warmer)
