What most people fail to see is that their backyard has that element of beauty in it. Making it look immaculate might seem work for some people, but the beauty itself should be consolation enough to always keep it well maintained.

And another thing, most people fail to consider their backyard as an outdoor extension of their living space. People consider as their home the area that is found under the roof.
