The house I bought had no real yard at all. It was just a small plot but had open properties next to it. Over the years my wife and I would spend the weekends clearing the brush and vines. When the land became available we purchased it to make it official.
There were a number of small irregular sections of land all smashed together so we decided to have a survey done to see what we actually owned. They located most of the original property markers and updated all of them. They put small orange flags in the ground everywhere to mark the border line. So I walked to each flag as I walked around our true property line for maybe the first time.
