Trump Reportedly Plans to Replace Rose Garden Grass with Mar-a-Lago-Style Patio

The proposed redesign would preserve the roses but replace the lawn with a hard surface, potentially including dance floors, as part of broader White House changes.

President Trump has reportedly expressed interest in transforming the White House Rose Garden by replacing its grass with a patio similar to the one at Mar-a-Lago.
Designers have drafted plans that include options for limestone or interchangeable hard surfaces, with the possibility of installing hardwood floors for dancing.
The roses in the Rose Garden would reportedly remain intact despite the proposed changes to the lawn.
Critics have voiced strong opposition to the idea, calling it a break from tradition and questioning the need for such a dramatic alteration to the historic space.
The White House Communications Director stated that the proposed changes aim to preserve and restore the White House's historical stature, though no final decisions have been announced.
