No way. I can not imagine wasting time mowing 3-4 acres of boring lawn every week. I have 2 1/2 acres and I planted a bunch of trees. About 3/4 an acre is wild forest, 1/4 acre is my garden plot. The house, buildings, driveways, flower beds, patio, and koi pond may cover 1/2 acre. I can mow the grass I have 30-40 minutes.
Japanese beetles are banes of farmer and gardeners around here, and they LOVE to lay their eggs in cropped lawns, so I hate to see expanses of mowed lawn around here. The beetles voracious eaters. They descended on one of my dwarf apple trees and stripped it bare in less than a day. We have 2 to 5 acre lots around here and some guys are so uncreative they just mow it all.
