I meant the example more symbolically.

Here with us there are many new housing developments where everything around the construction site is done at once. They pave everything, plant fully grown trees and hedges, and finally lay down the rest with turf. The plots look like they came straight out of the construction company's catalog after just a few weeks.

That certainly has many advantages, but from my point of view many people are also taking the easy way out. Well, if you can and want to afford it, that's fine, but for many the financing amount is simply pushed so high that you don't have to do anything anymore – except pay the installments to the bank.

whoever has, can
We also can't^^

Why not, if you can afford it?

It's definitely nicer than having dirt in front of your door for months or even years.

I can still clearly remember when my parents finished our house and we moved in. There was even more unfinished than just the garden and money was tight. Landscaping was definitely not priority number one. But how happy my mother was when the area around the house was finally paved and we kids didn't always track dirt inside (and neither did my father).
If you can have it right away, why not?

whoever has, can
We can't either^^

It's absolutely no envy either, just not my idea of our long-term project

There may be people who have no time or no desire to do anything outside, others may physically not be able to do anything themselves. For them, it's certainly great if others take over the work and in the end everything is as desired.

We look forward to seeing the garden and everything around it grow over the next few years and can also live with the fact that in the meantime it doesn't always look the way one would like it to visually

Sod lawn has clear advantages over seeded lawn in my opinion.... above all, the density that a sod lawn has is phenomenal. My lawn has been there for 3 years and there is not a bit of weed in it.

The density is due to the frequency of mowing. The more often it is kept short at the beginning, the denser it becomes.

I am glad that we had everything finished; shortly after moving in, offspring announced themselves, who will soon be 2. In any case, at the moment, hardly any maintenance of the outdoor area is possible, more than mowing the lawn and watering is not feasible, since a little button always shows up and wants to "help".
