Your landscaping is particularly awkward and is kind of a pain to take care of. There’s so much grass to mow and maintain that it feels like you’re on the lawn mower every other day.
Your home is more than just the brick and mortar building where you hang your hat. It’s also the yard that the home sits on (plus other things).
