overgrown yard
Weedy, untended lot
A yard where vegetation has grown wild and unkempt—grass too tall, shrubs spreading unchecked, weeds taking over.
The phrase suggests neglect or abandonment: The overgrown yard made the house look deserted.
Overgrown yards often draw complaints from neighbors or citations from code enforcement.
