Got tired of fucking with it. Only half of it ever looked decent and that was the half that is under a large old tree 😂 Our sun is so hot here in the summertime that the grass grows better in the shade lol.

So i split the yard with a footpath, left the healthy grass under the tree and on the other side of the path, i put in a small native tree, some shrubs, and some flowers that bloom at different times of the season.

I have three main garden beds with a couple of paths through there, besides the main path that splits the yard, i did the main one kind of curved not just straight.

Anyway, it looks way better and takes way less time and not much banging my head against the wall anymore lol. Our front yard is not very large either, you don’t need a large space to do something like that.

And you can do beds like i did, you don’t have to just throw down wildflower seeds and hope it looks good. Google “island gardens” to get an idea of what part of your yard could look like. You can do it yourself if you have the itch to get out there in the yard, I did, it saved a ton of money and i add to it when i can.
