Why not plant some no mowing grass? We did and we love it. Its really short.
We planted it closest to the house and have turned a lot of the old yard into permacultured gardens - rhubarb, asparagus, strawberries and a few blueberry bushes. Then we planted the grass on the paths.
We try to do a little more each year and one day, I will even have planted paths through the wooded area. . . when I'm too old to mow or the mower is too broken down to do it!

| I have a total of 6 acres, of which 3 are wooded. The remaining 3 acres are yard, house, garden, driveway, world's smallest pond, outbuildings, etc. So altogether I probably mow about an acre and a half. There are a couple small places in the back that I have ceased to mow. My back yard and part of the east side of my property well away from the house have large oak and hickory trees. The grass in these areas doesn't grow as fast as the sunnier parts of the yard, so I mow there only a few times a year, since I'm not concerned about having a yard that looks like a manecured showplace.

| It's not the expense of mowing a big yard that bothers me, it's the time!
