Hard to have a nice yard, when neighbors have a Dandelion Nursery!

Ilive in a nice neighborhood. Houses across the strett are 1,000,000+ ( no Im not rich) and try to keep the yard nice but I refuse to be anal about it. I do a pre imergant and thats about it other than pulling the real buggers by hand .
I have neighbors that break out the leaf blower every time a leaf falls ! Really !!! Maybe they shouldnt have bought in the "River Woods" subdivision ..
I miss the midwest where a nice home didnt have to have perfectly manicured yards.
