Post by: ancmetro on May 20, 2016, 12:19:19 pm: Grass! Because it is easier to walk on. If all grass is not possible because of erosion and drainage, a combination of grass and gravel could be used.

Post by: vickysue on May 20, 2016, 03:28:20 pm: I like some grass in front. gravel on the drive and most of the back yard is plain dirt as hubby drives on it a lot. But i do have a small garden separate from his area. So it is not so bland out there.

Post by: adriarobi on May 21, 2016, 09:07:29 am: is he looking for a place to work on the car/truck etc?

Why not split it off, if you have enough yard.

If he is worried about the care of it, volunteer to do all the yard work.

Grass is refreshing, it is colorful, it is soft under bare feet, kids can play safer.

Hope you find a good and happy compromise with you both winning.

I can't stand grass OR gravel (but that just might be ME coming from the "concrete jungle"). We've got gravel and all of our plants are "desert plants" that need no watering. Living in the desert, these are the only plants that make sense, not to mention saves water.

Post by: mrsmere on May 23, 2016, 09:43:06 am: Grass and it takes me an hour to cut it but I like the exercise and seeing how nice it looks after it's done. Hubby wants to get a riding lawnmower but I'm not ready for that yet. When it's nice, I can stay out in the yard for hours.
