Mona: I want a Lawn. I’ve always pictured our new house with a lawn.
Kellan: Lawns require a lot of water and Upkeep. I think we should use Hardscape for most of the yard and plant only Drought-tolerant plants.
Mona: I don’t want my yard to be full of Gravel and rocks. I picture a Water feature in the middle, with Annuals and Perennials planted all around it, surrounded by a big, beautiful lawn.
Kellan: We can have some kind of slow-growing Ground cover if you want to, but the rest isn’t practical.
Mona: I don’t know what you mean. We can plant a Hedge over there and install Planters along the Walkway.
Kellan: Who will do the Pruning and Mulching? Who will Pull the weeds and Mow the lawn? Who will Rake the leaves when the seasons change?
Mona: Well, I guess I will, with your help.
Kellan: Don’t count on me. My motto is: No muss, no fuss!
