If the grass is municipally maintained the I use landuse=grass (I'm on the fence about using landcover). If I have the time or inclination I'll separate it from residential with a multipolygon relation.

If it private then I mark it as landuse=residential & probably leave it at that. If you ant to go into more detail you could use the garden/private tags.

On the left, a dense urban location that is clearly landuse=residential. On the right, what is most definitely landuse=meadow. So what about the center ? We see residential buildings among a predominantly grass cover. In other areas, I have seen this mapped as landuse=meadow - but it is wrong because it is actually used as a residential areal.

To me, it seems that mapping this area as a combination of landuse=residential and landcover=grass would be most fitting. I have thought about using the landuse=residential + natural=grass combination instead, but those lawns do not strike me as natural.

What do you all think ? Is this a good illustration of the need for landcover=* ?
