If money and time were not a problem, what would you do to make your dream yard? (slrpnk.net)

Just as the title asks, what's your dream yard if money and time weren't a concern? Would you have a pond, a prairie, a forest, a food forest or something else?

time is definitely the biggest issue, so right now it’s just a huge list of tiny chores and a dozen container bags for a kitchen garden in an attempt to incrementally move towards some future ideal

I would love the convert the space over to full-on permaculture / food forest / no till, no maintenance / Mediterranean style garden – olive trees along one swale but haven’t thought about rest yet

(and despite this being “No Lawns”, would probably still keep a little patch of grass, clover, and dandelion as a backyard lawn)
