Wheelchair users who want to visit their neighbors should be grateful the pavers lie flat, not heaved up by tree roots. (And in fact the flat grass might be a smoother way around such obstacles, except when too muddy.) The grass exists for dogs to pee and poop on. Looks like owners have been decent about scooping, at least.
