The way I see it, you have two options:<br /><br />1. Get a zero-turn riding mower. That was the option I chose and it cut down mowing 1.5 acres of yard from over 6 hrs to less than 2 (while riding in comfort and carrying a frosty brown ale ;-) )<br /><br />2. Do what the snowbirds in Phoenix do, rip out all the fescue, cover the ground with plastic sheeting and then cover that with colored gravel.<br /><br />But definitely a great looking yard, well done!!<br /><br />rkinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432551832152096206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-20433453202590133322014-06-30T08:17:03.236-07:002014-06-30T08:17:03.236-07:00I have one of those things in the first picture.
