| Hello Everyone,
So I have a nice lawn of Bermuda 419 grass. I live in a subdivision of 300-400K houses which one would suspect would have decent lawns. However, most of my neighbors do not care to spend too much time in the grass maintaining it. Subsequently, my frequent time spent in the yard has attracted some stares and misunderstandings from my neighbors that border envy and "you think you are better then me" syndrome. Do any of you, who live in subdivisions with lawns bordered by neigbor's lawns that do not look as good, experience neighbor envy to the point of being ostracized or sometimes even ridiculed? Any adverse effects or sly remarks from neighbors such as you spending too much in the lawn making their lawn look bad? |

| Hah, well if you're the guy in my neighborhood (Heritage WF), then I HATE you. Kidding of course! That's unfortunate if you've been judged by neighbors, my lawn has been in various states of terrible and awesome and I have gotten some snyde comments in both situations but take them as light-hearted and it doesn't bother me. |

| Sometimes the funny smiles, but @ the end of the day they wish theirs looked like yours, the only way they can bring you down is to be impolite. keep doing what you are doing and dont let anyone change you. you are in the right! |

| And don't make the mistake of offering advice unless they ask. They will only continue to do the wrong thing in the name of pride. |

| I have the same situation in my cul-de-sac, I have the widest yard with a sprinkler system and very plush grass, my neighbors with kids have terrible yards with weeds. They say your yard is the first thing people see, I for one enjoy the compliments!! |
