The 7 Biggest Eyesores You'll Find on Upstate New York Lawns

Not to be a negative Nancy, but there are a lot of rural areas in Upstate New York that are pretty bleak looking. Look, I get that not every resident can afford a professional landscaper, but that doesn't mean you can't take some pride in where you live. The front lawn is a usually a pretty good place to start, since it's what everybody sees when they drive past.

"It's my property, I can do what I want!!!" is a popular defensive position to take, and you're right. You can do what you want. But that just means people like me will make fun of you. If that doesn't bother you... cool! No harm, no foul.
