Not much really. I had to weed through the mulch and re-mulch once a year. We also had to pay someone to trim the tree and remove a couple of the other trees that were too close to the house. Because the soil had already been destroyed and it was a fenced-in back yard, there was no need to resod it or try to restore the soil. I had an herb garden on the side of the garage, and we put a pool out behind the garage and built a walkway with pavers to a new paver patio out back. The rest of the yard was left mostly for wildflowers (which we mowed down a few times a year, heh) and a huge patch of moss that hubby used as a putting green.

(our property was on a 1/2-acre corner lot, only the front yard wasn't wooded).
