Non-clicky Poll: How big is your yard?

[mrs.jacinthe]

If you don't know exactly, best guess is fine.

If you rent, only include grass/landscaping that is only for your use, not common areas.

Me = about 2,000 sq ft. Our rental is on 5 acres, but we only get a tiny area of it for our own personal use. The rest is shared with our landlords.

[ssmjlm]

I believe we have a 1/3 an acre. Part of it goes back into the creek, so it's not all grass.

[pamela]

our lot is 60x150. I'd say our backyard is about 50' deep. It's actually quite large for our area, but so tiny compared to the half acre we used to have.

[Susie]

0.25 acre

[kaylie]

We've got a pretty well laid out .4 of an acre. I think it's the perfect size for having enough useable space without having too much to maintain.

[emjacobs]

Our house is set on the back corner of a 2 acre lot so we have a ton of side and front yard .

[adhdfashion]

0.28 acre it's all lawn.

[setsail1999]

About 1.25 acres. The house is right at the front so most is all backyard and side yard.

[simpsongal]

A little over 1/2 acre - it's a corner lot and house is angled, pretty much in the center of the lot.

[tarheels]

House 1: 1/3 acre
House 2: courtyard
House 3: 1 acre
House 4: courtyard

[statlerwaldorf]

10 acres. I'm guessing 3 acres of lawn, 2 acres of field, and 5 acres of woods.

[housegeek]

We have an acre, it's great, large and rectangle, our house is towards the front and centered Its awesome

[minniebee]

.4 acre

I don't think I'd want more ... what we have is enough to maintain. It's nicely landscaped with plenty of mature trees - we have 18 trees on our property which is kind of a lot for the size of the lot. Not tiny little saplings, either. I love our trees, but it makes mowing the lawn go slower, there are lots of obstacles to mow around.

[emoflamingo]

County site says our lot is 66' by 110'. So not that big but it feels spacious!

[FoxInFiji]

Just under 3 acres. Most of which are our 1 1/2 ponds, island, and wetlands on the ends of the island which separate the ponds. Occasionally when the water levels are high they are one big pond.

We have a small front yard, a moderate sized back yard, a fenced in dog yard in the woods (brush cleared but no grass to mow), and a lower yard/garden farther from the house on the other side of our half circle driveway that is a combination of mowed trails, woods, and raised flowerbeds.

[wawa]

About half an acre. The back 20 feet or so are wooded and slope down to a creek, so it's not all lawn.

with this criteria - nothing.

we live in a basement suit on a half acre and we have full access to the yard, but so does landlord who lives with/above us. we use the yard more than he does.

[treedimensional]

Less than 1/4 acre. Row house neighborhood; very small lots packed tightly.
However, my landscaping is AWESOME.

3 acres on wide open prairie. So it's all grass and some trees we planted.

Yep. I mow a lot of lawn. I love it though.
I never have to worry if the swingset, kiddie pool, random trikes look like hell out there because a) there's enough space to spread it all out b) no one sees it because our 3 acres are surrounded by 160 acres of corn field!

[sju]

3 acres with a few trees. The rest is all grass. The house sits 75 feet away from the road. DH spends a lot of time mowing particularly in the summer when it needs to get done weekly. We love the space we have, though.

[thewop]

3,000 sq ft? Not much. We do live within walking distance to two parks though.....

[hunniapple]

We have 1.1 acres. I would guess about one-half to two-thirds of an acre is yard and the rest is woods.

[Ramz-ee]

Total yard (front and back) is .13 acres.

[katybug_h]

We have about 1/2 an acre. I wish it was bigger, but I can't complain because we have the biggest backyard in our neighborhood.

[amblor]

.36 acres, but not the best layout ever.

[vanillahip]

.25 acre, skinny but deep. It's too much for me! We're seriously trying to downsize the yard in our house hunt because my husband is roughly useless with yard work / house maintenance and it's just a little too big for me to comfortably handle on my own- while still having a life.

[binichic]

hmmm...if I had to guess, I'd say our back yard is about 25' wide x 50-60' deep. Our front yard is probably 25' wide x 20-25' deep.

[boiler717]

Our current house is in the city: very small, postage sized lot.

New house is 25,000 sq ft or just over a half acre.

[steenbean18]

We have 0.85 acres. I love having the space, but it's waaaaay more work to landscape than I expected! We've been working on it for 2 years now and it still looks like a giant bare patch of land.

[Deleted]

Just over a 1/3 of an acre. We live in a farely large city with a lot of subdivisions. That is a HUGH yard for our area.
