A hard core fisherman friend of mine in Seattle graveled his entire yard back in the 1970s and hasn't owned a lawnmower since. I've owned a lawnmower but hope never to own another one. We have lawn service thru the condo association, and my landscaping goal for the new house is zero lawn. There's some grass and weeds starting to grow up around the new house and garage, but fortunately there's a kid next door who's trying to develop a landscaping and lawncare business. Best $30 I spent this week.
