I treat my yard as a natural meadow the best I can. I only mow once or twice a year and we're slowly pushing out the grass previously planted. I dislike the look of a traditional boomer suburbia yard. I much prefer the wild look.

We don't rake at all. I prefer to just let things do their thing and I'm also far too lazy to bother raking. We live in an area surrounded by woods.

We have snakes and foxes and hares that come out of the woods from time to time. A ton of birds. It's perfect.

I wish I could let mine go, but there are city ordnances I have to follow. My "yard theory" is to break up the the whole lot with trees, bushes, flower beds, and garden plots, to the point that I can "mow" with just a weedwaker.
