It's the number one thing I've hated about home ownership since summer came around. I just feel so dumb watering it all the time (it doesn't even get healthier) and pulling weeds out of the grass (maybe I should just leave them). I got a reel mower though and I have to say it's not that bad, sure it's not as convenient as a motorized one, but it takes like an hour once a week once you get the hang of using it. Sadly most people are too dumb/lazy for that though. I saw a guy down the street with a riding mower and was like fucking come on dude. Save that for the parks, a typical suburban house is like 0.1 acres of grass.

I don't have an HOA so I guess I can do whatever I want with it but that requires a lot of labor and effort up front. And I feel obligated to keep it looking okay cause you know how people can bitch about petty stuff (plus resale), but personally if it were up to me I'd more or less just leave that shit be while slowly xeriscaping
