I'm not a lazy man. I work very hard I think. But I hate yard work. And we have one of those yards that attracts weeds very easy and we have pretty crappy grass so if I don't mow the yard for a couple of weeks, it's knee high. When I mow it, there are lizards and toads running everywhere, pissed I am taking their comfortable hiding spots. I know the neighbors scoff and I hate to have "that yard" but I'm just not genetically predisposed for yard work or really anything involving the outdoors.

Anybody else hate yard work?

however, there is a yard further down the street that is in so much shade, their entire front lawn, upon closer inspection, turns out not be grass at all, but a lush blanket of moss!

WOW!

friggin awesome!

I have a giant patch of moss thats in a shady area of my lawn , but it seems to come and go. I wonder what the trick is to keep it green all the time.

I hate yardwork.


I'm thinking of hiring a lawn service.

what about the "meadow" look?

poor drainage

ah, not a good idea for near the house huh?

Seriously there were toads the size of my head out there. And it had only been two weeks.

I like to think that, by not mowing my grass, I am helping the planet Earth and supporting a whole ecosystem.

Definitely get a lawn service. Smartest money I've ever spent. Don't have to spend a morning pushing our crap mower around the yard, and don't get pissed off anymore about getting nagged to mow the fucking thing. Every 3 weeks a couple guys come with proper equipment and make it look better than I ever could, only takes them 20 minutes.
