Spend less time and money on the yard

There's nothing lazy about summer if you're constantly working in the yard.

If the thought of a weekend conjures visions of backbreaking work pushing a mower in the hot sun or trying to coax reluctant plants with gallons of water or fertilizer, maybe it's time to change the relationship you have with your yard.

It is possible to have lush, green inviting outdoor spaces with less mowing, watering and work.

With a few easy steps, you can cut the hours you spend on lawn care and have more time to enjoy the great outdoors. Not only will you have a yard that's inviting you to come out and play, but it will be less expensive to maintain.

Here are five ways to make it happen.
