You know what I want? I never want to mow my lawn again.

I try really hard to burn it when it gets hot and dry, but the percentages aren't working out.

Failing that, I'd like to have a roomba that rakes my leaves.

Replace it with a rock garden or artificial grass. Or pay the neighbour's kid (or your own) $5 to have it done every week or so.

It's quite common to pave them here for that reason. Common enough that in some areas it's beginning to cause drainage issues; grass-covered ground is apparently better at draining water than paved.
