Same. I've spent around $1200 in lawn equipment. Probably another $800 in lawn fertilizer/herbicides/soil in the last couple of years. If I were to pay someone to do all of what I've done, I would've easily spent triple that.

It is no more than an hour and a half of my day if I'm mowing the lawn along with the cleanup. It looks good. I get compliments from neighbors when they walk by. I don't feel like I'm doing all that much. It beats the alternative of looking like a jungle.

It's a great feeling to be able to do something, do it well, and be appreciated for it by others. Ever since I bought my house, I've always had the mindset that I want it to look as good as the day I'm going to sell it.

Not to mention the quality is probably WAY higher by now.

So many speed demons out there causing bald spots. I have several trees with scars where lawnmowers hit them years ago...same reason
