People wonder, sometimes in the spring, if I'm going to cut down any of my 8-10 remaining pines trees. (*once 23) Why?
So I can have more "real" grass in my semi-private yard...for the lawn guy to mow!
The fence is recessed from the sidewalk on both street sides. So...THAT's where the nice grass is! Inside? I have a patio/grilling area and lots of seating room.
But the rest of the yard is for running dogs, and agility, and kiddie pools, and relaxing in S-H-A-D-E!
I wouldn't cut down even 1 of my shady pines for the sake of a better lawn! What? And loose all that beautiful, cool shade? Not on your life.
They forget in who's yard we most often sit and chat because there's shade... Hmmmmm...90 this Saturday. Wonder where everyone will be if not inside with AC? Out back at Shady Pines!
