I can't comment much on low-maintanence lawn care - I have a big lawn and a rider mower. It is what it is. I'm happy to let the forest encroach and reduce the lawn, but I've taken no active steps to reduce the lawn myself. I let the lawn grow as it will. I have a friend who waged war with crabgrass. I won't. It's grass. It's green. Whatever. I don't water it or fertilize it. -Arrian
