lawns are stupid fucking crap. crap crap crap. dumb little plant that does nothing but grow so you have to cut it more, unless it's being eaten by army worms, blighted by weeds, or suffering from a pH imabalance between lime and dog urine. i say let it go feral and clear a fire zone around the house with a scythe. or just pave the motherfucker - don't go halfway, spending 10% of your life attemping to have nature in a nice, neat little box. that's nicer than that of your neighbor. fucking risk censure by the neighborhood association by just not giving a shit about the stupid patch of dirt.
the only thing worse than lawns is lawnmowers, and leafblowers, weedwackers, all that crap. it is fucking LOUD, the scourge of modern suburbia. cars are required to have mufflers, pollution controls, and so on, but it's perfectly okay for a leaf blower to belch raw hydrocarbons, at 100 dB, at 9:30 am in the morning, when RTQP is trying to read a book without having his teeth rattle.
