There was a house in my old neighborhood that had a BEAUTIFUL lawn. That guy would spend the whole weekend on it; mowing, edging, etc. He did the dethatching by hand and only a square foot at a time. I've never seen one since that looked like it. Me, I hire a lawn maintenance company to mow it weekly and I'm done !! lol

I spend a lot of time maintaining also.....if I leave my house and I see a dandelion, I have to fight the urge to go remove it lol. I do mentally mark the spot and jump on it as soon as I get home though. That sounds pretty pathetic.

I take a lot of pride in my lawn. We just bought this house two years ago and the grass and flower beds were in ROUGH shape. I've been slowing getting everything up to snuff. I'm on 2 acres here so it takes a lot more time than my last lawn :)

yep- I am a lawn nut- FOR 6 years I had the best lawn in the neighborhood till grubs got the better of it - took me 2 years to get it back up. Its looking great now but not like it was before. After this fall it should be Banging again
