| Aug 9, 2015 at 9:05 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | @oerkele I believe the OP is looking for a term that describes a person who is unmoved or unaffected by "beauty". A visually stunning garden is a good metaphor. The OP is not asking "why" somebody would prefer to demolish an apparently Shangri-la landscape than to toil daily to maintain it, but how to describe such a person. If I'm mistaken, I hope the OP will clarify. | |

Possibly the owner is trying to give the effect of the African savannah, upon which some theories hold the hominid ancestor of homo became bipedal. I guess I am something of a repomaniac, or I'd post this as an answer, downvotes be demmed [sic]. | |

| Aug 9, 2015 at 1:27 | comment | added | rhetorician | A herbicidal/ichthyical/hydrological/ornithological maniac? Just think of those poor koi, fountains, lanai benches, flowers (cum hummingbirds), flowering trees, and trellised vines! The oaf must be shot, forthwith. Don | |

| Aug 8, 2015 at 23:03 | comment | added | oerkelens | Practical, smart, efficient? I can think of a lot of ways to describe someone who doesn't think spending a lot of effort on maintaining a bunch of demanding plants, animals and other landscape items is a good idea... Your question seems to indicate you want a pejorative, but the example you give is very opinion-based. | |
