I spent about 12 hours in the last 2 weeks just getting ahead with my yardwork. The backyard is the size of hockey rink and the front is infested with weeds. The good thing is its going to dry up and we won't have to mow anymore. In the fall we're going to plant two rows of trees. We have a nice 30 ft pepper tree in the back and 4 citrus (2 orange, 1 grapefruit, 1 lemon) trees but we want to add to that.
My wife is finally on board with completely covering the front with cardboard, weed barrier, and mulch. Three years of that should kill all the bermuda grass; we've tried everything else. Its a long time to do nothing but I think the neighbors are sick of seeing our ugly yard.
