Hard to have a nice yard, when neighbors have a Dandelion Nursery!
Some of us have lernt through exerience that it isnt worth it to have a nice yard. On the other hand if it is a necessity then you have to buy enough land where your neighbors are so far away that you cannot see them...I've given up being at war with neighbors years ago, and I quit talking to the one guy last July...its great I ignore him to his face every time I see him. That simpleton went too far but that's a long story...
