the rock work looks good, don't remember seeing it last yearJust cleaning up here. Lawn might not be salvageable this year, but I'll have plenty of wood chips to cover the muddy spots.

that's what the wife says, but then there goes the disposable bike funds...Or, hire someone and go play with bikes.

lawn/garden work is also when I have time to drink beer and smoke Cubans, can't do that on a bike. I'm a multi-tasker...But what good are bikes if you spend your free time working on the lawn?
I have spent weeks of my life and well over $1k on my back yard and aside from the garden beds I built last year it looks the same as when I started about 4 years ago. I fertilize, add lime, use an aerator, re-seed, re-seed again, re-seed with a seeding machine and drink plenty of beer. This year I'm thinking i should just put down astro turf.
Do you have a lot of trees in your yard?I have spent weeks of my life and well over $1k on my back yard and aside from the garden beds I built last year it looks the same as when I started about 4 years ago
That's pretty much my budget every year, but I'm including the replacement of bushes and shrubs which didn't make it through the winter, annual flowers, vegetables, mulch, seed and chemicals. This year will be about double as it's been about 6 years since I regraded the back and redesigned the front and needs a refresh. Yeah, I could hire someone, but I like working outside. Bigger jobs I usually find some help in Plainfield.I have spent weeks of my life and well over $1k on my back yard and aside from the garden beds I built last year it looks the same as when I started about 4 years ago.

$1k a year for fertilizing, lawn care, aeration? You guys are smoking dust, and need to get other hobbies. My lawn guy charges less than half of that, and my lawn looks better then it ever had when I DIY'd it.
