yard work
Mowing and raking
Yard work is the routine labor of maintaining outdoor residential spaces—mowing lawns, raking leaves, pulling weeds, trimming hedges, and similar tasks.
The term implies a homeowner's obligation rather than professional landscaping: I spent Saturday doing yard work.
It carries connotations of suburban domesticity and weekend chores.
