Back is decent... Front is a mess. We're eventually going to tear that up to widen our driveway anyway so not going nuts with that.
My dog's urine is also quite terrible for my lawn as you can see.

Guys with a zero turn, what kind of blades are you running? @Patrick
Lawn was fertilized by TruGreen, and I'm cutting every 6-7 days, really it should be 5-6, but I can't keep that trend up. I cut at 3.5" and when I cut it at 7 days, I'm prob removing close to 2". It lays a lot of grass on the previous pass or the next. I've run a gator blade in the 3rd slot, but pulled it as it did not shoot the grass as far and left clumps. Currently running 3 high lifts that I sharpened before this cut in the photo.

Same here, with an aggressive infestation of dandelion on top of it. I won't be taking too much care of it though other than mowing every other week, other priorities have surfaced so the neighbor beautification nazi patrol will have to come to terms with it. Or pay for a gardener, either way it works for me.

I'm running stock blades. Didn't know I had a choice!
I should double cut cause I'm once a week and it is leaving clumps of clippings

I'm literally throwing handfuls of clover seeds into my bank yard. They started sprouting yesterday should have a nice soft green carpet before too long
Here's one of a billion little write-ups about clover being more awesome than grass

Well, I have to say that cassinonorth's backyard lawn is really amazing. I wish mine would look the same. My whole backyard is a mess actually, as we have moved into this house two weeks ago, and we still haven't arranged all the things. While the lawn ... well it is really really bad. I was thinking about getting a new one, however I won't have enough time to take care of it, so I decided to go for some artificial grass from https://itsartificialgrass.com/ as they are having the best artificial grass in here.

I was gonna post this in DIY but....
Replaced the main solenoid valve for my irrigation. The bleed acre broke and it's an odd brand so I just opted to replace it. Paid an extra $30 to avoid soldering. And the big stores don't carry 3/4" sweat x 1" PEX fittings, so this was pretty much mu only choice to get it done today. Took me literally 10 minutes to do this, so I guess it was worth it.
Now to go jack up the water bill...
