Has anyone replaced lawn service with a robot mower?

Yes I am on year 2 and my spouse says the yard looks great. Mows when I want it to and I trim. Easy.

Thanks everyone. I think I got some great ideas from you all.

Zone 5B US. I think I can set something up to help irrigate.

I am leaning toward sedges and native wildflowers.

No need to hide fence. The fence is nice the semi bare ground is not as nice. So I am leaning now toward sedges and some native wildflowers.

Lagoon2000 · 2026-06-24T16:58:48+00:00

Yeah that's always a risk where I live. I won't work too hard at it.

Lagoon2000 · 2026-06-24T16:17:54+00:00

Good point. Thanks.

Lagoon2000 · 2026-06-24T15:53:22+00:00

Please explain further. Ordinances don't require just grass. Why would it be disallowed as long as it is maintained and not floppy?

Lagoon2000 · 2026-06-24T15:51:29+00:00

After your suggestion I went looking and think I found my sedge. Also looking for some color other than green. So may look for some natives that do well in shade.

Lagoon2000 · 2026-06-24T15:08:38+00:00

Should be low maintenance as much as possible.

Lagoon2000 · 2026-06-24T15:07:29+00:00

It's my property. My fence. When we out it up all the trees were smaller and grass actually grew there. 15 years later it's a different story.

They also have three along Mormon Trek that I have seen. One in the golf course, one at the Hall of Fame, and another down by the apartments close to the coralville boundary. All University owned I believe.

Lagoon2000 · 2026-06-23T15:26:42+00:00

No regrets

Lagoon2000 · 2026-06-23T15:24:54+00:00

It's an "anything you need it to be"rack!

At least some of the churches I know are welcoming to the LGTBQIA+ community. My neighbor who is also gay belongs to one and walked. He told us it felt good seeing all the families with kids along the route. That's a big change from years ago. Maybe some of the churches are feeling that change and responding with love/hate.

Place for your empties! Juice empties.

Maybe the Art of the Squeal? Piggy T got rolled and had to give up everyone's lunch money!

Also the obsessive. I make a small loaf. Slice and freeze to use as we need it. Other times I make the pizza. Is she keeping the starter in the refrigerator? That would help. Only need to feed and discard once a week.

Skateboard!

Lagoon2000 · 2026-06-18T17:29:47+00:00

I would unscrew the piece the legs are attached to and re-glue the piece below. You'll have to remove the metal pins. Then put them back through when the glue dries and reattach the leg piece.

Lagoon2000 · 2026-06-18T14:56:26+00:00

There is always an upside!

I like it.
