I hate lawns. Huge expanses of nothingness however well cared for they

are.
I also hate neatly cut edges and borders with alternating blue and white
lobelia and red salvias.

A 'gardener' who uses hedge trimmers to cut every single shrub in a
largish garden (not ours - he wouldn't have lived another day if he
did this here!) into the same 'hot air balloon' shape, all at the same
time, regardless of spring/summer flowering, etc. I especially hate
him for doing this to what was a lovely Amelanchier, one of my
favourite shrubs.

And I HATE that red cedar (bright orange) wood stain. Especially if the
shed, fence, gate and decking is all done in the same nasty garish colour.
