I wish houses weren't required by law to have a lawn. I could save so much space if I didn't have one and all the junk to take care of it.
This thread blows my mind.
You'd prefer to just be boxed in with people all around you and concrete everywhere? That's what developers would do if they weren't required by law to give you space. Pack them into smaller spaces and get more money!
You could look into lawn alternatives. Here the rules are no weeds and vegetation can't be over 6 inches unless it is intentionally cultivated. So I have native plants in garden beds around my house that take up roughly 50% of the yard, and the "lawn" portion is mostly native groundcovers that are unlikely to reach above 6 inches. I rarely have to do anything to it since it's mostly native. We go out there maybe once a month to mow the little grass that's left (which we're phasing out as natives spread) and pull weeds.
It was a little more work up front to make beds and plant natives, but we did it the lazy way, starting out small and expanding over the years as natives grew and spread. We did temporary borders of cardboard with rocks on top to smother grass and expand out as needed.
