[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once you get over half an acre, you should really consider reducing the "lawn and garden" area of the property and letting the rest go natural habitat. Anything more than half an acre of "lawn and garden" is asking for trouble, whether it is time it takes to care for yourself or the cost of paying a service.[/quote] Or xeriscaping. Expensive up front, but saves you in water and maintenance long term. The thing about letting it go "natural habitat" is, depending on what is planted there, it can get quite tall and attract pests, snakes, etc. -- and if you're in an HOA, forget about it. It is an adjustment, but you'll love being on an acre, OP. It's so nice to go outside and not be right up against your neighbors.
