I hate my lawn.
I’ve heard other guys say that, but they were referring to the fact that their lawn wasn’t perfect. I hate my lawn because it exists.
My wife doesn’t realize it, but I don’t plant pine trees all around our property because I love pine trees. I plant pine trees all around our property because pine needles kill grass. Dead grass doesn’t need to be mowed.
I hate mowing. Mowing is such a waste of time. Time I will never get back.
My mowing lines aren’t straight. That’s partly due to the fact that mowing is so boring. To make it funner, I pretend that my lawnmower is a getaway car and I’m being chased around the yard by the cops.
When I get tired of running from the police, I mow all the areas left where the police didn’t chase me.
I hate weed whacking too. I hate weed whacking even more than mowing ever since the “barefoot weed whacking toe massacre” incident. Now I make sure to wear shoes.
Maybe I’ll like my lawn more when I retire. Maybe then I will actually like time spent mowing. But until then . . . . I hate my lawn.
You can always bring in a cement mixer. Robles solved. Just saying.

Oh I definitely would, but to cover my lawn would cost more than I paid for my house.

haha we retired and bought a robot lawn mower. No more lawn mowing! It’s fantastic – best boys toy ever. It mows in the dark, it mows in the rain and it mows while we are away overseas or just sitting on the deck drinking wine. You need one!

A lawn mowing robot!!?? That’s awesome. I have two acres with lots of obstacles. I don’t know how it would do in my yard.

It works, trust me. We have a huge lawn and lots of trees, a large pond etc. It’s all in the set up and the way it works, and it does an incredible job. We’ve had ours going for 3 years now and we have no regrets at all. This is the one we have http://www.husqvarna.com/nz/products/robotic-mowers/automower-265-acx/ I’m sure it would be available in the States as well.

Great visual of the cops chasing you around your lawn, haha! This is why we choose condo living- neither one of us has any desire to do any form of yard work.

We have huge areas on mulch and bushes, just so we don’t have as much lawn to mow.

I’m working on increasing my mulch bed to lawn ratio.

Years ago when I had a small back the size of a postage stamp. I too hated to mow the law. It seemed like such a waste of water and time mowing. So I ripped it out and bought dichondra seeds and planted a dichondra grass. It was always my favorite, because it never needs mowing and looks beautiful. Just a suggestion.

Might be cost preventive for such a large space. I’d plant my own produce if I were you with that much space.

I don’t get the love affair with lawns anyway. Its a complete waste of water and time, I prefer wildflowers and vegetables.

I actually do like pine trees. I would prefer being surrounded by trees instead of lawn.
