Focused yard work to make it easier to keep up with

Me and my mom were talking the other night about the planting in the yard. We're going to be focusing our efforts on getting just a few easy to access areas planted and not worry about the areas that are harder to get to or that we won't be able to enjoy at least every few days. By focusing our efforts on just the front yard area and putting lawn in the remaining parts of the yard we can enjoy a much nicer looking front yard than if we tried to stretch our efforts to the entire front, back and side yard areas.

I'll be prettying up out by the pond, but I'm not going to plant anything else out there. It will be going this year on the perennials that were planted out there in the past. Right now there are a bunch of iris out there, so that should be enough with the ferns and wild rose that are behind the older pond.

I need to get some lawn seed and repair patches in the back lawn and maybe run lawn around the end of the house this year. Otherwise all efforts will be focused on a area just off the porch and on planters along the porch.
