The yards are small, but still require some hands on maintenance not provided by the very good lawn care people. We just returned from our first 6 weeks long visit to our new Hadley home. In that time I needed a shovel, a leaf rake, a weed "poker", a trowel, a watering can and a hose. We planted some bushes rescued from a friends new pool area (that shed all of their leaves before resprouting) and added a few Plumbagos and Dianthus. The weeds grow like weeds and the weed tool was a help between administrations by the folks who care for things.
