there's something really funny about the idea of the hitherto metaphorical kids on one's lawn clipping the lawn, and that being the thing that gets the old guy all grumpy in this scenario. Like not loitering or doing drugs, just unauthorised lawn maintenance.

I read it as 'walk across the corner of your lawn". Old geezers meme is them yelling at people to "stay off my lawn" Although unauthorised lawn maintenance would piss them off just as well I suppose.
