There was a miscer that bought two lots just so he had two football field size lawns to cut on his property. I was mirin' the aesthetics until i figured out how much work went into it.

Mowing isn't so bad, but if your property has a bit of scrub area Goodnight sweet prince. Weed whacking, hedge clipping and weeding
... that will make you question your life choices.

This. Mowing a flat, square yard is way easier than maneuvering around things, under trees, up and down hills.

Lol, yes. I used to love doing this chit as a kid, but at this point it has been like 10 years since I mowed any grass. Definitely an activity for people who are bored out of their minds.

Yard work blows, the worst part of owning a home for sure. The whole process to me is retarded. Waste a bunch of water so I can keep my lawn green and maintain it 7-8 months a year.

Does OP understand that Boomers are now really, really old?

Millennials are now buying houses and doing the exact same thing.

Literally fuking no one wants to live in a sky box all their life. Sharing walls SUCKS.

Live in a condo and don't have to do any of that but I kind of miss it and having a yard.

Yard work and gardening is something I enjoy. Pretty cool to see the results of what you grow. Trees, vegetables etc.

I have been doing this for years now. My pond used to be suchh a pain weed whacking around it. Now i just kill the schit...and within 3 weeks new growth is coming up till i hit it again. Otherwise, I would have to wee whack the fkn thing at least every week if not more. I go up sidewalk, around trees and around house. Been so nice...i use my own backback sprayer and mix it myself.

It's gotten really strange on the misc where these ****gggots are bragging about living at home with mommy till they're over 30, and looking down on people who own their own home, and take care of it?

Literally takes like 5 minutes and 15 dollars to kill them. I kill half my neighbors weeds because they are lazy and I don't want they spreading to my yard.

First job was landscaping, did that for a long time. I hate doing yardwork, but I also refuse to pay someone to do something that I can finish in 45 minutes.

I book Friday from 10-11:30 AM on my work calendar as a recurring meeting so I can manicure my lawn. The seething looks of my neighbors when they pull into their driveway Friday evening and see my perfectly cut grass then have to stare at their overgrown dandelion and red dirt "lawns" knowing they have to spend the best part of Saturday pushing a lawn mower is one of the most rewarding things of the week.

I always make sure to wave really noticeably when they pull in so they have to look at my beautiful lawn and give me a wave back with a big fake smile.

Muh straight lines!
Muh edging, weed whacking, weeding, and blowing!
Muh curb apeal!

Guess this is one area I can get down with rentcel cope. If your goal is having the nicest yard on your street, you might be a boomer
I've made a good living off of the backs of the lazy homeowner. I charge some 60-100/week for a yard that might take me 30 mins to complete lmao. Mulch and Fertilization are the real money makers.....brb charge a lady $110 a visit to broadcast spread some scotts on her lawn. 15 mins of work, materials cost like 30 bucks. LMAO

That might have been me, as we own the lots on both sides of our house, but it was done so no one could build next to us. I don't mind mowing, but our yard takes our crew of 5 guys with two 60" mowers about 1 1/2 hrs, so I figure it would take me all day by myself.

I don't have that kind of time, and now we are building our new house on 27 acers with a pond.

Yep this is why I just do it myself, too easy not to for the cost. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t rather be doing something else

I for one love mowing the lawn. I do not like using the whipper snipper though, but that's probably due to my poor technique.
