He tried and tried to get his landscaper (Service Smart) to come mow and weed. They would promise to do so and never show up.


It's a real problem for snowbirds, and now that we are snowbirds, we don't want that problem. Not good for the neighborhood or for us either.
We just bought a CYV. We would have preferred a designer home and found one we loved, the lawn on the corner lot was just too huge to think about as snowbirds. The CYV we purchase doesn’t have a single blade of grass, is concrete with some shrubs with crushed stone.
