Are annual lawn care programs worth the money?
Article ToolsNot only are annual lawn care programs not worth the money, they can give the wrong impression to your neighbors about two very important things. They demonstrate:
(1) That you are not an environmentalist. Yes, that's right, lawns are not environmentally friendly - they are largely a waste of natural resources (like water) and viable space where food or wild plant life could be grown or allowed to grow.
(2) That you care too much about appearances. If you are too busy to take care of your own lawn, why do you care how it looks? Unless it is the primary place your family gathers outdoors then you are clearly only interested in how it looks, not how usable it is.
So skip the lawn-care service and, possibly, stop servicing your lawn altogether. Let nature take it over and have its way with it, or turn it into something both beautiful AND useful like a garden. Save your money, help save the world.
