After moving to Texas from Arizona - my grass of choice is <i>still</i> rock. Not the best thing for resale value here, though.
Yeah - I cut it myself. Never had any kids, so I'm stuck with the job.

Mow Your Own Way
by Farm and Fleetwood Mac Mowing you Isn't the right thing to do How can I ever change things That I feel If I could Maybe I'd fertilize your roots How can I When you won't take it from me Do you mow your own yard Mow your own yard You can call me Another lonely 'tard Do you mow your own yard Mow your own yard Tell me why Everything turned to brown Giving up Sprinkling's all you wanna do If I could Baby I'd give you my mulch Open up Everything's waiting for you You can mow your own way Mow your own way You can call it Another lonely hay You can mow your own way Mow your own way (with apologies to Lindsey Buckingham) oh and, I mow my own.

Yard? My "yard" consists of about a foot of grass behind the house, a small concrete lip, and then a loooooonnng drop down a sheer cliff to the back yard of the house below mine. And they're building a pool right below my bedroom window as we speak. Wheee!!

College apartment. When I'm at home though my parents gave up trying to get me to do it so they started hiring some people to do landscaping. Not much to landscape so it doesn't cost too much.

Yes, I do. A bunch of the folks in my neighborhood have yard/landscaping services - you never see them outdoors, working in the yard.
I would never do that. Working outdoors on yard and landscape stuff is great exercise and gets you out in nature. Some luxuries are better eschewed in favor of the DIY way.

I used to love to mow the yard, and be outside.
However after being stung over 100 times by a swarm of yellowjackets, and winding up in the hospital, I am now alergic to everything outside. I still try once in a while......then suffer for the next week!! I miss outside

When I'm home, yeah.............all 3 acres of it (it stretches out around our barns and all our other buildings). Let's just say our lawn mower is a bit bigger than your average ones.
