Weed free? The edge looks like that because I shrunk the planting bed last year. That was freshly seeded. A few feet out is where I removed a stump and seeded year before. Other than that its more like grass free. LOL
I went over to Andy's to check it out. The back yard needs mowed. It hasn't been fertilized for years. I think I'll mow and bag mine next week then if it rains I can aerate, overseed, and fertilize. Or may be none of the above. LOL
Sounds like most of my yard.
Trying to make my yard as easy as possible to maintain, I'm not getting any younger and if I could cement the whole yard I would.
I'm not doing MORE but I agree on keeping it simple. I chuckle when I see guys that retire, and create these intricate landscaping systems that will require significant effort to maintain. I'd come short of concrete slab the acre...
Asphalt and green paint
Paint the cement green with a few spots of yellow dandelion paint and it's good.I'm not doing MORE but I agree on keeping it simple.

There's someone here selling a BUNCH of big rolls of astroturf for cheap. I don't think it would matter much up there, but estimate is that it'll raise the temperature in your yard by 10 to 15 degrees....
Damn, I'm tired and achy. Time for a Ibuprofen or two. It doesn't take much activity any more and I am shot.
I'll be the annoying guy..
Check yourself on an inflammatory diet...

keep in mind, concrete cracks. Just a part of the game. There are methods to control where it's going to crack. Asphalt is just concrete with a different cement holding it together.
Anti inflammatory diet? It might help a bit. Having 3 back surgeries, 2 knees, and 2 hips would really help. Getting off my heart meds would help me loose some weight but then I'd die of heart failure. Loosing weight would help my knees, back, and hips. I ache a lot.I'll be the annoying guy..

That's what they put on all the new homes in ElPaso.

I gave some very serious thought to putting down used Astro turf in the range bays, there is no shortage of it for sale. Only because it is so easy to police the brass up. But in the end the additional heat was a factor, and the just everyday debris that blows in. I swore that when I got out of Marine Corps I would never pick up brass again! We don’t pick up brass here, I just call it jewelry!

Don't let your dunnage weight be low ....
Nothing like a 37° rainy day on the 60 range, using numb, club hands to sift through gravel for brass and links.
Suck

I think that thunder I heard must have been the signal for the rain to stop 
Damn that's even cheaper than cement. Run the vacuum cleaner over it in the spring and good for the year.

I do some 'extra' mulch work to nearly eliminate weekly weedwacking edges. For years the flower beds got bigger, cause Mae was planting lots of flowers. She doesn't do much out there anymore. So I am gradually shrinking them. I have 50+ sq ft less of mulched area than 2 years ago. Depends what she plants this year how much more I change. Plus if no flowers I can spray weeds and less pulling them.I'm not doing MORE but I agree on keeping it simple.
