Just grass


The backyards of most new homes in Dallas are void of any landscaping. It's just grass. Mostly St. Augustine, Bermuda or Zoysia. Nevertheless, just grass. No shrubs or trees or borders with flowers: just grass.


What to do about it? Some people build a pool, others spend their money on landscaping, but most folks just leave it the way it is.


We were determined to buy a home with a landscaped backyard. But new homes with landscaping are hard to find, so we compromised. Now landscaping will be one of many projects. In the meantime, I get to play around with the lawnmower.
