The message of the saying is that you only think that grass is greener because you’re not living with it. The grass isn’t actually greener on the other side of the fence

Grass looks greener from the side than from directly above.

From the side, the blades obscure the dirt. Either that, or my neighbor’s grass really is greener.

If the grass is laying flat against the ground, I guess. But it usually just leans. Either way, this is outside the scope of my statement.
