Work really hard for a month, get everything in shape, and take pictures of your perfect lawn. Post it to all your social networking sites and put it as a background on all your computers. Never invite anyone over to the house. Then just pretend that's how it really is from then on

Well currently I have not had this problem as I have rented so far...I will probably buy a place in a couple of years so I have very few maintenance activities. I had a house previously but the grounds were communally maintained which suits me down to the ground - I don't do gardening. Now I have a 3 bed city centre pad so I don't have any gardening whatsoever to worry about.
Which reminds me, I must hire a cleaner

The only thing I actually put effort into is our vegetable garden. There's a payoff there: food. Tomatoes, mostly, but also basil, carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, strawberries and asparagus (not much though, this is only year 3).
Well, I did recently do battle with underbrush (small trees and a TON of prickers) in the forested-but-within-the-fenceline area out back. I love that area, because the dogs can do their business there, not in the lawn itself. They're pretty good about that. By "doing battle" I mean going out there with clippers and spending ~2 hours laying waste (note: not timed. Betcha it was 1 hour). That's battle for me, after which I have clearly earned the right to drink tasty beer.

The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.
