My front yard is intentionally planted with clover, dandelions, and other pollinator-friendly plants. I prefer this natural look over a traditional manicured lawn, but my neighbor maintains a more conventional yard with frequent mowing and pesticide use. We share a strip of grass along my house. While I do mow that area, I don’t want to use pesticides or remove plants that support bees and other wildlife. I’m currently letting the dandelions bloom briefly for pollinators before mowing. I want to be respectful and prevent my yard from encroaching on his, but I’m unsure how to balance our different approaches. Do I need to match his maintenance practices on that shared strip?
