In my neighbourhood, landscaping services are pretty common for a lot of homeowners with larger lots.

I think that’s part of it but I also see it a lot in my parents neighborhood (Fraser Heights)
Not to make this some sort of race based thing lol but 100% growing up there it was overwhelmingly Caucasian. A mix of newer and older homes but there were some really great streets where every single home was nicely manicured, beautiful boulevard trees etc.
Fast forward and now the neighborhood is like 75%+ Korean and it’s starting to get run down AF. People have homes with fascia basically rotting and falling off, little to no maintenance on trees and shrubs, MAYBE just a half ass attempt at cutting the lawn every 2 weeks then run back inside and shut the blinds until you go out again.
It’s probably a cultural thing but there’s also -zero- sense of community anymore. My buddy bought his dads old house in Fraser heights and had some long term neighbours who used to chat fairly frequently help out each other etc. now he doesn’t even know who lives next door because it’s basically drive car into garage, shut door, never see anyone come and go period. It’s virtually the same for every single house around him lol
