[quote=Anonymous]Never owned anything but a condo and now looking for a house. And new to the area. A house I really like is on a large lot--almost half an acre--large front and back lawn. This means more lawn care than we would like. What is involved in lawn care besides mowing the lawn? The area has a lot of houses with larger front lawns than in some other areas (MD, inside the beltway), and I guess we'll have to keep it looking good so the neighbors don't complain. Does grass here tend to turn yellow at certain times of the year? Do you have to use a sprinkler or is there enough rain in the summer? If we don't care for it ourselves, what kinds of costs are we looking at? There isn't a lot of elaborate landscaping, just grass and some patches of ivy around tree trunks. We do have a 10 year old--so I always wanted *some* yard but this is bigger than we were planning on. Will this be an albatross?[/quote]
