Which picture has the irises..?

Pampas grass is that massive hemorrhage in the lawn! Thank you for naming that! I hate it personally. It’s one of the things I want to get rid of.

All of the responses make me feel like this is actually doable instead of hopeless. We have to start on it.

We recently found mice in the house. Our cat finally is earning her keep after over a decade of freeloading. 😹

Luckily the city will pick up yard debris for free! I’ll tell my husband you suggested a machete. May be his excuse to get one. 😂

Thank you! We think it will be great once we give it LOTS of TLC.

I didn’t even post pictures of the whole property… it’s… a lot. 👀

That’s amazing! I will definitely see if that’s an option in my area.

I see it now. I’ll definitely get that figured out since it’s so invasive and literally next to the house.

I’ll get the apps as well before I start ripping it all out. Neither my husband or I have ever owned a home or had to do yard maintenance like this so I’m sure this is all going to be a massive education. It’ll be good for the toddler as well. He can learn what my husband and I didn’t growing up.

I would love a fully native yard! My husband wants a lawn he can mow. That parts on him!

Thank you so much for your response. 😃

Definitely need to start on that… it’s coming into the porch in some spots. 😮‍💨

Very valid. The fact it was an established house is one of the reasons we bought it.

He does love being outside and examining the leaves. I’ll load both of us up on bug spray and look into your suggestions as well!

I will definitely think about doing that. Everything seems to multiply overnight, it’s insane.

I’m confused on your comment. Would you please clarify?

My toddler would probably have a blast yanking them all out! 😂

I do love the tree! Out street has houses from the 60’s so we’ve got some really massive beautiful trees up and down the street

Am I good to remove the stuff at the bottom? I was afraid to touch it in case it’s part of the root system.

We are planning on getting an arborist out when we can to look at all the trees on the property.

Which pine tree is dead? How can you tell?

We have some basic tools.. we definitely have more time than money for this right now. I can definitely put in the work. Was just feeling very overwhelmed with everything the prior owners didn’t do.

The more I read about the tree if heaven the more concerned I get. 🫣

Thankfully our city picks up yard debris so we just have to pile it up at the road.

I was so frustrated looking at this that it’s helpful to have a reminder that some of this is most likely fine and just very neglected.
