The rental property where I live connects to city property and they are both textbook studies for noxious weeds! 100% of county's list. My issue is their way to control/ eradicate is chemicals! The city property is part of the rain water drainage flood plan and has it's own ecosystem, including but not limited to ducks, geese, and turtles. So I've learned to live with "weeds". Stickers, sandburs, thistle get a salt, vinegar, and soap treatment...at least I don't worry when I see a squirrel burying a peanut nearby. In my yard, as long as it's not stickery, it just gets mowed and even watered. It may not be the usual lawn but you can go barefoot and run your toes through it!
