[quote=Anonymous]We live in DC and participated in the RiverSmart Homes program, in which the city subsidizes a certain amount of landscaping in order to achieve a more ecologically friendly yard. They did our front, and it entailed removing all our grass and replacing it with mulch and plants that are native to the Chesapeake Bay area. I (mostly) love it, but I was shocked at how much upkeep it has actually been. We were kind of led to believe it would be less maintenance (no mowing!) but oh my gosh, the weeds! So many weeds. All the time. Everywhere. I would much rather push a mower than weed in mulch. FWIW, I am not a gardener. Working in the yard does not make me go to my happy place. We hired a landscaping company to come every other week. So now that I'm not the one pulling the weeds, I prefer our grass-free, eco-friendly yard.[/quote]
