Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 4371916, member: 5787"] That's one of the bigger disappointments for my wife living at our home. She grew up in Eastern Montana (semi-arid) on a 1/2 acre property with a dad who was obsessed with his lawn: it was the nicest lawn in town but watered all the time, covered in chemicals, etc. Now, we live in a woodsy part of Norwalk and our lawn "looks awful" to her. To me, if it's green and it's trimmed, it's acceptable lawn, which carries the tradition of when I started mowing the lawn at my mom's house when I was 11. I can't worry about our lawn being pure grass, but I try by best each season to regrade and grow the worst parts of our lawn, mostly on the north facing portion of our lawn that contains are leach fields from our septic. It's a 1/3 acre that also includes a publicly owned berm that we maintain (mow the lawn, trim the bushes, planted pachysandras, etc). It's a slow, but steady improvement, knowing its ultimate Sisyphean fate. [/QUOTE]
