One reason you will change your mind more than once about what should you invest in, and now you really love what the neighbor did. Plus there are many here who just can’t keep up with extensive weeding.
We have owned more than one home, and waited more than a year before we changed things, so by your standards we are lumped into the we don’t give a crap. Since you don’t pay my mortgage, you don’t get a vote on if I plant flowers

The homes in my neighborhood are 17 months old, not 17 days. You need 17 months to make a decision on what to do to your yard? The pine ground cover has dried up and much of it has blown away leaving exposed dirt. The ground cover when it is that old looks like dried up dead weeds, very appealing. This isn't the first or even the 5th house we have owned so I think we've done that rodeo already and don't really need your advice. If people can't keep up with weeding maybe they need to live in an apartment, a condo or hire someone to do the weeding. Poor excuse for having a weedy yard. I'll admit I don't pay your mortgage but I do have a say in how your yard looks if it degrades the appearance of the neighborhood and affects the value of my property. We put up with that at our last home and didn't have a community standards office to correct the problem.
