Most older FL cities have neighborhoods with lots of old trees. These are all pretty close to me. Much better than the horrible new treeless neighborhoods that are popping up like weeds. Sanford Oviedo Winter Park
Rural New England seems better than most rural areas at houses (those without farms) leaving much of their land as native forest rather than mowing the whole thing. Some rural spots in upstate NY, I saw houses with golf-course sized lawns. Hideous besides being environmentally awful.
Same with a lot of properties in the Pine Barrens: more wooded there. My ex lived on the edges of the Pine Barrens and the property was quite wooded. First time I drove there was in the dark and it was difficult to find the right house even after I had viewed it on Google maps. I accidentally drove onto the wrong property at first, lol.
I hate yard power tools, too. No need to have your yard perfectly neat and force everyone to hear the annoying noise.
My neighbor has a commercial riding lawn mower . I sware he can finish his yard by "walking" for 15 minutes with a quieter push mower. Power tools are needed to feel manly and also to save time. It's about working smarter, not harder. right? Especially if the yard is too big for manual raking and stuff.
I'd rather hear a leaf blower in my face than screaming kids in a pool 100 feet away.
I'd rather hear a weed whacker for 30 minutes than outdoor music for 2 hours.
I'd rather hear commercial lawn mower than a Harley Motorcycle
I'd rather hear a log splitter for 6 hours then a teenager car without mufflers
They're a bit annoying. I don't feel like driving 3 hours just to come back the next day. Waste of time.
Why are they making you come home just for one night? You'll be seeing them in a couple weeks for turkey day, right?
I was lucky when I was at college, I was only about an hour's drive from home.
