New homes have been built on former agriculture fields showing an example of a conversion from the other grasses and agriculture class to the turf and grass class. In 1995, the region consisted of a mosaic of other grass (tan), deciduous forest (green) and some development (red). By 2002, more roads and houses had been built (A, red). With the new houses came lawns (B) represented by yellow (the turf and grass class).

Compared to other grasses and agriculture, the turf and grass areas are manicured. This is evident in the high resolution image below. Notice that the house lots with houses have darker green lawns compared to areas without houses. The 2002 land cover has more development below and to the right of B. These areas were not built in 1999 and are thus not evident on the high resolution image.
