Even *I* would complain about that, LOL!
I’m all for less lawn, but that’s just lazy ‘gardening.’ ;)
Hey, come on. Remember when women had the wild, messy, bedhead hairstyle?
I live in the south. I don't know where this lawn is but we have one in our neighborhood and it is beautiful, but it is a lot of work to maintain. I talked to the homeowner and he told me that he has to actively weed it (like 4-8 hours a week), because some really aggressive plants will seek world domination, e.g. elephant ears. To make matters worse, it seems that every hurricane brings in some new type of weed. Also, the homeowner told me that he has to keep a buffer from the houses next door because some plants send runners under the soil and pop-up 3-4 ft away from the mother plant (like elephant ears).
