Obstacles

[Pika]

Does your landscaping interfere with your mowing? We have a shed and a playhouse that sometimes get in the way, but mostly we keep stuff on the edges.

YES! I dread every year when I know my wife is planning up new things to put around at different areas in the yard. I like nice perfect and long stripes, but it seems that all of her plans lead to more areas that I have to mow around. I should say that they look nice, they just interrupt my mowing patterns :biggrin:

There's not too many obstacles here because I keep about 3/4 of our yard for garden space. My kids complain that there's no place to suntan and I keep saying that we can't live off the grass, we need food!

My wife is constantly making mowing harder and harder to do. She makes beds everywhere and I am supposed to mow around them. It gets aggravating.

We don't have a lot to mow around because we have an agreement: My wife can have all the flowers she wants, but she has to keep them along the edges or next to something already existing. The yard looks good (or will once I seed it and the grass grows) and I don't have obstacles all over the yard to mow around.

Yes, we made a mistake when we first laid this lawn. We planted a few bushes at intervals down the middle and whilst they look good, they are a nuisance to mow around and have to be carefully tidied up with the strimmer.
