If I did that my entire yard would be overgrown, because it’s smaller than that lol. I did let the backyard mostly go wild a few years ago, had an interesting mix of native species and invasive. Invasive won by a landslide, even while manually keeping the English ivy in check. Creeping Charlie and purple deadnettle went everywhere. Some areas eroded so much due to lack of turf roots (either outcompeted or succumbed to the combo of early direct light followed by shade most of the day) that it’s basically just big baked bald spots. One of these years I’m going to try and figure something out to repair it… just need the intersection of time and money.
Lol I don’t even have a yard of my own where I live now, and to be fair my parents only have 3/4 total.
The first year I took over lawn maintenance, they had poke weed growing in a 10ft tall forest in basically every space possible, it was the entire summer getting rid of them. Then they had English ivy growing along the base of the house and it was creeping into every crack of the siding and choking out some trees.
Even when trying to let it grow “wild” it’s a ton of work…
