WHY DOES YARD WORK ALWAYS SEEM NEVER-ENDING?

You’re spot on—no-mow fescue isn’t a magic bullet. I’ve seen a few installations that looked great the first year, then got patchy and uneven after a couple of seasons. It’s less mowing, sure, but you still have to deal with weeds, reseeding, and sometimes even irrigation if you want it to stay green. I lean toward mixing in native perennials and groundcovers too. They might look a little wild, but they’re usually more resilient and better for local wildlife. There’s always some trade-off between effort and aesthetics, I guess.
