I've embraced lawn and landscaping work over the past couple of years. Lived downtown for 10+ yrs and moved to the burbs 3 yrs ago always hating maintaining a lawn. Always had a love for interior design and something clicked in me that lawn and landscaping is just EXTERIOR Design.
Hardest part was year one just cleaning and clearing the crap out, but once in a good place and able to maintain and improve it's very enjoyable and relaxing. Take 30 mins a night to just do a walk around the house to pick any new weeds here and there, give everything a good watering, etc. while listening to music on headphones. And it's not just the grass...upgrade bushes, flowers, exterior lighting, etc. I enjoy it, and my house has quickly become the nicest exterior in the area that I'm pretty damn proud of.
