LOL, devolve, I know you well enough to tease you. Lawn care is governed by where you live. In a nice subdivision you can’t have sheep grazing. [don’t hit me!!]

No, I know you like a country home with trees and fields around. You can seed wildflowers and have beauty all around you, and your horses and cattle in the fields.

I know - In south Florida some people had vacant lots they did not keep up - the cities would attempt to contact the owners - often “snowbirds” - and would then have the grass or weeds or brush cut within residential areas of a town - then bill the property owner

That might remain unpaid (with interest) over several years - the the city would try ti contact the property owner with a court ordered notice of sale for back taxes

We picked up desirable lots in Fort Lauderdale, Dania, and even in Cocoa for back taxes -

Amazing how property can be forgotten by some people - the interest plus perhaps 10 years of maintanance on a vacant lot can add up fast

I personally only want enough lawn in the country to cover the septic tank and a bit more

Native trees and ornamentals and wildflowers are fine with me

I recall people coming to visit who built home on land that was clearcut for development

The sterotypical sod lawn and matching small bushes on each side of their sidewalk was so.......

They would say “Your home is like living in Pisgah National Forest”

I’d say “Yup!”
