I love this part:

"All I want is to get my breakthrough lawn, a lawn I can put my own personality into and really make my own, maybe by—and this is just one idea—putting little white rocks around the trees."

I poked around "The Onion" a little bit, it seems the whole site is a joke. I wouldn't put too much weight in this kid having been quoted.

That's the joke - the Onion has been a tongue-in-cheek periodical for a long while.

I love the "little white rocks part" too. They had an article a few weeks ago about a new razor with five blades that said something like "I don't care if we have to put the last one on perpendicular to rest of em we're getting five ?#%#?! blades on there!" Definately more fun than the real news.
