The White House Lawn Was Mysteriously Dug Up. See The Before And After Photos

Why is the White House digging up the North Lawn?

DC politicos have observed that the North Lawn of the White House is, seemingly, undergoing a massive renovation, with the turf being dug up just a week after Election Day.

The unexplained lawn work has prompted some to speculate on the timing of this large-scale project — and to crack many Four Seasons Total Landscaping jokes.

UPDATE: It turns out the lawn maintenance wasn't nefarious, according to a report from The Washingtonian, who headlined their story "No, Trump Isn't Trying To Steal The White House Lawn."

"The National Park Service is doing maintenance on the irrigation system and routine turf restoration on the north lawn of the White House," National Park Service spokesperson Katie Liming told Andrew Beaujon.

Here are some before and after photographs of the North Lawn.
