I cut my grass more often if I had something like this to do it with.

Last couple of seasons though, I've used a lawn service so it's gotten a lot easier!
This is why I want turf all my yard, so never have to worry about it

It may seem like a chore to maintain the grass, garden, yard in general.. but it's a great excuse to be outside and you get to decide what lives and what dies.

I already do that here lmao

Also I play soccer (both indoor & outdoor) plus walk my dog, so I do get enough outside part.

Biggest thing is, my dog is a female, so it kills the grass. That's what happened to my old house. We had a very front yard. I got some nice grass going and by the end of the summer, she killed every inch of that grass lol

I know the feeling, there are ways to prevent this, one is to teach them only pee at a certain spot, also keep your grass properly watered as well as your dog, there are treatments that lower your dog's nitrogen level in their pee. There are also solutions and grass treatments that helps against that. Sunday company makes products that target these issues.

Nope, still a chore, no matter how you dress it up. If I sit on the front porch, listen to a book, drink beer and watch someone else do it for $40, does that count as being outside?

Depends on whether the porch is fully enclosed or not.
