It's not really THAT bad. (If you wanna see bad, you'll have to see the back yard.)
Do you have some idea of which areas you want to make "lawnless" to cut down on the maintenance?
I've only mowed it once so far, but I'd say the area around the tall tree on the right. (Is that a cedar?) The grass around it grows faster than any other.
And some of the border near the road.
The tree on the left, I think, suppresses the grass itself, but there's also some utility-related stuff to the left of it I'd like to avoid mowing. (Then again, I'd probably have to avoid gardening there too.)
