We live back in the woods and accept the grass along the driveway no one can see the lawn unless they drive down 500 feet of drive. With woods all around what yard we have and I don't like lawn work I have let it go as natural as possible. This time of year I only spot mowing as needed because most of the yard has wildflowers blooming, moss, with a few ferns and other interesting things growing in the yard. I take maybe 10 minutes once or twice in May then expand to more of the yard as the blossoms die back. By July I'm up to 40 minutes of mowing every 2 or 3 weeks. I often skip August if it is a dry year. My neighbors mow once or more a week, I brag that I only used 3-4 gallons of gas for the whole season. I mow on the highest setting and if the mower can get through it can probably go another week :-)
