What a picket fence may enclose (4)

I believe the answer is:

lawn

(Other definitions for lawn that I've seen before include "Type of thin linen or cotton" , "Grassy area" , "Smooth grass garden in front of house" , "Expanse of grass" , "Area of smooth grass - fine linen" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
