Ding, dong, the lawn is gone! Which old lawn? The wicked lawn! Ding, dong, the wicked lawn is gone.
After my favorite of two trees in the front yard died earlier this summer, I decided to give up on grass in the front. I had a landscaper come in this week and take it all away, cap the sprinklers and replace the grass with a nice pink granite gravel. It probably sounds horrible to anyone from a wetter climate. But, here with high water bills, and drought a continual threat, it makes sense. Eventually, I'll put in some deserty plants, a little more subdued version of my cactus garden in the back and it will look fine. For now I just have to wait till the grass roots are all dead before I start redecorating. At any rate, no more mowing for me!
