What does your front yard look like?
Muddy
USA
I had one neighbor down the block when I was I kid. We called it “The Bamboo House” a couple hippies had there front and backyard covered in giant bamboo stalks. You couldn’t even see the house on like not even a 1/3 acre plot. It wasn’t a rural area either, a very dense suburban area, everyone is on top of each other. I never realized this about bamboo but it smells like shit and it grows like weeds where it fucks up the cement in the street/sidewalk. In hindsight I actually admire the balls that took and I’m surprised that the next door folks didn’t burn their fucking house down. We as kids would take these 30 foot bamboo sticks and have jousting tournaments with them.
Now that might be an extreme example but compared to my boring ass Kentucky blue grass only and that’s it ass it’s actually pretty badass. I might try to get some Japanese maples one day, I really like that tree. Just have a bunch of them out there.

Out for theft.
My whole life is like that, as soon as you show some sort of status in life, people will want to come after you, for jealousy or feeling inadequate. I’ve Learned it’s better to keep quiet and a low profile so you can be left alone to enjoy what you do have. I have time to focus on playing, working, and tending to my sweet backyard that only my family and close neighbors can view. Fuck the front yard, nobody hangs out there anymore like Wally and the Beav used to.
Yeah I didn't know that either. I considered planting bamboo on the edge of my back yard for some privacy from neighbors at my second house. I can't put a privacy fence up there because the neighbors already have a chain link fence. i'll have to consider something else.
Most recently a dancer was complaining about her shitty apartment complex. She asked where I lived and said "oh WOW you have a HOUSE?!?" Next thing you know I'm fingerblasting her in the LD room 😆
Anyway... it's a modest bungalow. Only takes about half an hour to mow and weed whack the front and backyard.
Other than that. A sidewalk, palm trees and tropical shrubs amd orchids.
I keep a well manicured yard with nice landscaping front and back.
It's not about other peoples perception it's about taking pride what I've worked hard for outside & inside
