My first house in TN was on a 1 acre lot with about .75 acre to mow. I never tried it with a push mower but even with riding mower it too way to much time out of my life. I don't see myself having that large of a yard ever again. (My current yard is 4000 sq ft or 0.092 acres.)
I look at cutting grass as farming hay and then throwing the hay away.

This is the best response in this thread. Mow less, let something else grow. Plant a bunch of trees, let it become a forested lot with time and just mow the area immediately around your house?
I hate grass.

Meh. My lawn is almost exactly 0.01 acres or 435ft^2. The minimum I'm allowed to mow by my HOA.
