[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this thread hilarious. We own a SFH in NW DC. You might have scoffed at my front lawn before. The grass has some weeds in it and we only mow every 3 weeks or so in the summer. Longer grass has longer roots and is therefore more drought-resistant. Also, it’s just not a top priority for us. I’ll never spray chemicals on my lawn to kill weeds or keep it manicured. I’ll never water my lawn unless I just overseeded it. And I’m not going to hire an overpriced landscaping company that will send a bunch of unskilled labor to mow my grass within an inch of its life and kill shrubs and trees through improper pruning (this has happened to multiple neighbors).[/quote] Fully agree with you, especially about the unskilled labor. I am now only allocating cutting the ornamental grasses. I'm pruning everything myself (big job - over an acre of beds) and will hire a teenager to help me mulch. Goal is to put in raised beds on the south side of the house.[/quote]
