Woman Tired Of Mowing Lawn; Fills Yard With Sand
Click here for reuse options!So she resolved to do what anyone would do in her situation: fill her lawn with 80 tons of sand, for which she paid only $4,000 to do.
“Now being over 60, I’ve decided that I’ve owned the house for 33 years and that I wasn’t going to mow anymore or water,” Reid told KCTV.
Some of her jealous neighbors think that Reid’s beach house is bad for their landlocked neighborhood. Some have even filed complaints with the city. “I think the house looks revolting with all that is out there,” neighbor Edwin Bisby said. “I’m sure it’s going to hurt the property values in this neighborhood.”
For her part, Reid really does not care what her neighbors think. “I would say, ‘I’m putting in the largest litter box in the world,'” she said.

Taking drought tolerant garden to a whole new level! I think she is going to be in for a bit of surprise though when she finds out how nasty and dirty sand can get. Every cat in the neighborhood is going to be pooping there.

Sorry to say, but 80 tons of sand will not keep grasses or weeds away, especially with overhanging tree canopies.

sprinkle 200 lbs of cement around the yard, water once and voila, un fait accompli

Screw the neighbors. She can have almost anything as her lawn: Rocks, pebbles, marbles, paper clips. We have that freedom.

“Screw the neighbors”…not really a good idea. If you do something detrimental to the value of your property and consequently that affects the value of your neighbors, well you get the idea.
But still, sand instead of grass? Maybe in Phoenix.

I would of gone with pea gravel, it doesn’t wash away as much in heavy rain. Her sand is going to end up somewhere else and it is going to need to be cleaned up. Who is going to pay for that?
