Literally, I'm talking about real grass...as in grass that resembles hay in the front yards of 2 distressed properties on our street. Making things worse is our prolonged drought & water restrictions. If it'd rain, the grass would at least be green. That would make the fact that the properties are distressed less, well, distressing for us neighbors & certainly less obvious to passersbys. I know that, ideally, we'd have drought-resistant plants in our front yards but, in Southeast Florida, front lawns are still largely sodded. We have a 12 month summer, so the novelty of taking care of plants is long gone. With a sodded lawn, you mow & go. Nothing to do with those lawns except pray for rain & hope that the homes sell soon!

Dalia: My son has a new house with a sodded yard and it's been a chore to keep it plush and green with the drought conditions we suffered last year. A little more rain this year so far, but now it's a constant battle with the weeds. We've found that it's best to pay a lawn service to come out and spray several times through the year. The yard looks like carpet so it's well worth it.
