[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess we're "lucky" in that our neighbors on both sides have "natural" yards, so nobody complains about the fact that we have as many weeds as grass.  In fact, when I asked one of them (who also has young kids) if we should use weedkiller, she was horrified.

One thing I have noticed in other neighborhoods is that some people with natural yards put up a little sign that says "Natural Yard - No Pesticides Used."  It makes clear that you're not lazy, but rather that you are intentionally not putting chemicals in your yard.

are you in Arlington?  I have a very neat border, take good care of our landscaping--plants, pretty flowers (get compliments all of the time)...our yard is almost complete clover.  It is green.  DH mows and trims once a week and you can't tell from a distance.  The white caps pop up about the day before he mows...then they are mowed off.  Teh benefit is our yard stays green while the grass lawns sizzle to brown.  Our neighborhood looks very neat, well-kept and many people have professional lawncare---and many have weeds just like ours.[/quote]
