How to map grass around buildings & paths?

[ilias]

I’ve been wondering about the correct way to map grass that’s around buildings and paths, especially for areas with more grass than anything else.

Say I want to map this residential area:

What would be the correct:

Mapping one big landuse=grass, and then mapping buildings and paths inside it.

Or mapping the buildings first and then mapping the grass that’s around it. And if I use this method, should I map the grass until where it stops at the paths, and then make a separated grass area on the other side of the path, or map them as one area and then mapping the foot paths on them?

I assume this is the correct way doing it. With separated areas divided by paths (or foot/cycleways). It will be very time consuming, but if you enjoy the work, do it.

Sure, the more precise the better. Thanks a lot!
