[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, the tasks are the same with a smaller yard as a bigger yard, but each task just takes more time. I went from a townhouse lawn to a little more than 1/8th acre, and I spend a couple of hours a week on lawn care, more when it needs gardening, weeding, reseeding, etc. The mowing itself takes very little time, but consider the extra expense for a self-bagging mower, because the raking afterward takes forever. I have to keep on top of crabgrass, dandelions, etc. or they'll quickly take over. I reseed in the fall and again in the spring, and the good grass seed (with the fertilizer/mulch added in) is $50/bag, and you'll need multiple bags. Plus lots of mulch for the gardens. Also, pruning trees and shrubs takes time.[/quote]
