Some of the expenses we didn't know about before we bought a ranch home here:

Mowing, hedge trimming, keeping palm trees properly pruned can run $100 a month or more if you don't do it yourself.

About $100 a month for various chemical treatments - fertilizers, pesticides on lawn, termite treatment, treatment for the water bugs, etc.

Water for the lawns can run quite high during the times of year it is most needed. The expense obviously varies by lot size.
