It literally only a benefit to not mow the lawn
Most people use a fraction of their lawn. If you stop mowing your lawn for a few months you'll see the actual used/trampled areas. Mow those areas for a cleaner look and then replace the rest with easy to care for native perennials and be done with it.
>dont mow lawn
>no cool plants or flowers
>just weeds and brambles for miles and miles
t-thanks...
Then sow the flowers and manually remove the brambles.
Clover lawns are better anyway, they need less water, less fertilizer, bees can actually use them, and they're still nice for walking on and for dogs to pee in.
Why stop at clover though? There are many beautiful short growing native flowers you can add to the mix
fucker
It's mostly just americans
>didn't mow the lawn for 6 months because the fines from the town was cheaper than hiring a landscaper and they came over to mow it every month anyway
Was fucking great. Felt like I unlocked some sort of life hack.
an anon in a previous lawn thread said it quite well: americans don't want to be oppressed by the government, but love being oppressed by private companies for some reason. i don't understand how people tolerate them
mindbroken.
>abraham levitt

>get the brilliant idea that he should force homeowners to sign a contract where they promise to mow the lawn every single week, or else Levitt will send over his own guys to do it and bill the homeowners for it

You're in for the chock of your life if you check his early life section.
I love lawn threads
final solution to lawns is just to have gravel like they do in Arizona
This.
Fucking depressing. Just grow some native drought tolerant plants. In shit soil they grow so fucking slow you'll barely have to maintain them.
Long grass is based but that's how you get snakes.
do I need to caption this post?
You didn't have to caption that, its clear

lol
mown your lawn though
Maybe
*replaces entire front lawn with a massive lavender patch full of rabbits and bees*
heh
more like homo nerd association kek
imagine living the life of the american suburbanite
Still mad that mum ripped up my pumpkin patch so she could mow the shitass lawn
Cutting down vegetation to create a living space is natural human nesting behavior. The only fucked up part is wasting water, seed, and herbicide to maintain a monoculture that’s not suited to the climate. It would not kill anyone to have clover, moss, and a few shade trees, or to forego it all in the fucking desert.
TLDR: listen to your dad and mow the lawn gay!
this just let your lawn be hardy native grass and clover or other "weeds" that is what I do and the bees, birds and rabbits love it
Grass pollen is a bitch in the summer
Yeah now you have the perfect formula for wild animals to be prosperous in your yard. Enjoy walking among snakes and rabbit's excrements
Is this supposed to be ironic?
I love walking among the rich wildlife of my garden. This is Wauf, the animal board.
>arguing about what's best to do when you carpet your yard in grass, one of the worst fucking plants you could use, instead of native plants that guzzle less water and have deeper root systems that actually help the integrity of the soil
it was already over for you. go ahead and mow your frankenyard. or don't. not like it matters when grass lawns are literally just a scottish meme.

>nothing better that the smell of fresh-cut grass in the morning
I grew up in the suburbs and one of my dad's favorite phrases was "I didn't have a son so I could mow my own god damned yard!" So from about the age of 10-19 I was the landscaper.
When I finally moved out on my own I lived in apartments and after a while I got kind of nostalgic for yard work.
Then I started renting a place with a yard, and I was half way through mowing the lawn for the first time in years, in the hot ass fucking sun, when I had a moment of clarity that there was literally nothing I actually missed about this ball breaking horse shit.
>in the hot ass fucking sun, when I had a moment of clarity that there was literally nothing I actually missed about this ball breaking horse shit.
The eternal zoomer shows his true face. 20 minutes of actual labor outdoors brings him to tears.
I was born in the early 80's, and me and my next door neighbor shoveled driveways in the winter, and mowed lawns in the summer for money. The only people who have done more yard work than me have names like Chuy Hernandez.
And now that I don't have to do that, I don't miss it, and I also see better uses for the land than ugly lawns that die and turn brown because water restrictions caused by everyone insisting on having those putting greens in the first place.
But that's an entirely different discussion about water rights and civil engineering.
I'd much rather see landscaped yards with native plants grasses, and trees.
And it isn't like zoomers play outside so you're not taking that away from them.
>water restrictions caused by everyone insisting on having those putting greens in the first place.
places like california are fucked because they haven't built new reservoirs since the 70s. it's the mismanagement, not the lawns.
People who work hard all day don't work hard on nonsense for fun...okay, some don't.
Should’ve been out there mowing at 10:00 A.M., dumb zoomer.
>having a basedbitch dad that didn't enjoy mowing the lawn
Sad!
I work hard all day, often outdoors, and yeah, fuck that shit. The only reasons to mow your lawn are to fit in with other dweebs and give your boring ass something to do.
Thank you for further defining the problem.
>old thing better
>new thing bad
get off the internet and go live in a cave then.
Sounds neat but I'd be eaten alive by ticks
have fun gettin mosquitoes biting you when you garden
The heat of the dragonflies cook the mosquitoes
this man is based i love people with that jungle/ grassland yard shits is fire
And it will caught on fire too
Why are americans so bad at english?
clearly not an american
The only grass in my yard is bamboo.
Lol, you live in a HOA neighborhood. Might as well go trans now, gay.
I’m gonna mow my lawn just to piss you off.
cool and good
