I feel the same as you. Everyone in our neighborhood has nice manicured lawns. Then there is our lawn. We have areas of (gasp!) dirt. I'm surprised we haven't gotten a letter from our HOA. I also think our lawn guys have it pretty easy with our yard!

In reply to Sue.

Jenny-
We are in the same boat here….the Texas drought last summer ruined our yard….it is way worse than yours….it's basically dead!! We are planning to try and do something with it soon!! AND….I SO want an outdoor oasis….it is on my list!!!

It looks like you have several different varieties of grass growing in your yard, with the mounds of rye grass sprouting first. I hated that clumpy look in our inherited lawn, so we dug up those clumps and and re-seeded with a blend. Did you talk to Buckeye Eco Care? They have a deluxe program and are very responsive to any concerns. I highly recommend them. Good luck with those rampantly growing weeds. 🙂 It's an ongoing battle the entire growing season! Sigh…… My mulch beds are always getting maintenance. ~ Sue

Your neighbourhood looks so beautiful!!! We're needing some serious work on our yard (it's actually 3 acres) too. There's some patchy grass, the occasional small tree and that's it. We can't wait to landscape and create our oasis! Your yard will look fab soon enough-you're way ahead of us already =)

I'm sure your lawn will be looking fabulous this summer!

Sorry to hear about all of your appliances. That stinks!

I feel your pain! I live next door to a guy who works at a yard company and his looks great year round. Our yard, house too, is a work in progress and has been for five years. Not only do we have to do it all without the help of others (for the money), we have had major issues come up that required all money we were saving… like the HVAC, insulation, windows, etc. Hubs recently (finally!) got rid of one giant bush and now there are six others to do, plus some smaller ones, rocks to remove, and the list continues… good luck getting it all in shape, I've definitely seen worse (like my yard!)

Forgot to say,
I'm so happy to hear your appliance woes are over! :)

Whipping your lawn and beds into shape and then maintaining them vs. always trying to keep up, makes perfect sense!

Appliances these days are made so cheaply and are always breaking. I had a new washer and dryer for only 3 yrs and they both bit the dust. There's an appliance repair nightmare with that story. Our fridge is not doing so well and we are looking to replace it soon.

My husband works his butt off on our backyard. He obsesses over the lawn and is currently OCD over all the weeds popping up.

Your lawn will get there, it takes a lot of hard work and patience. :)
