I live town with 75,000 population and it seems that I continously pass trucks pulling trailers with zero turn mowers and edgers....I live in subdivios with probaly 70 1700-2000 sq ft house and small yards...I would guess that at least 80% like me use a lawn mowing service...I justify it by my age and my yard just isn't big to justify the cost of a riding mower plus I have probaly mowed enough grass with a push mower to fill up yankee stadium,,,incidently I pay my yard man $50.00 to mow and edge and do it about twice a month...also have yard sprayed twice a year for weeds/varmints/fungus.......

Just did mine

I try to live by the motto” never pay for what I can do”

I pay to mow mine. It's worth $40 to me to have someone else do it.

keep having birthdays and that will change...(voice of experience)

Do it myself. Kind of enjoy it and good exercise. Will keep doing it till I can’t.

I mow my own place. Mowed about 3.5 hours today. I couldn't pay anyone to do what I want done.

But, I don't understand justifying the cost of anything I want. I sure as hell can't justify the cost of my Champion. Or a 2023 truck. Or most everything I have I probably could rationalize not having it.

My goal is to not be the richest man in the cemetery but the poorest.

Same fixing to fert

Did mine today. 1.2 acres

I do mine and it's no joke. Push mower .52 of an acre of "grass". It's a pain but as stated it's good exercise and saves me $150+ a month...

Would guesstimate about 80% of the homes on my street have a service. And their lots are not half the size of mine. That big [censored] corner lot looks real nice until you have to mow it! LOL

I remember as a lad going door to door trying to mow lawns and this old biker guy telling me, "Son I change my own oil, mow my own lawn and beat my own wife. Some things a man has to do himself."

I remember thinking whoa this guy rules. That always stuck with me...that biker guy telling me that when I was like 12.

Do mine always. Love mowing, hate trimming.

If someone would mow mine for $40, I’m ready to talk to them. I mow 4-5 acres

Never paid a soul to touch my Lawn. Not yard... There`s a difference.

Just upgraded my equipment to make it more efficient (and easier) to do mine. This time of year I mow every 3-4 days.

Have always done my own and will do as long as I am able. I am 68 have a young buck neighbor across the street that hurt his foot doing martial arts was in a walking boot and his yard was looking terrible. I did his yesterday not just mow but trimmed shrubs, flower beds, edged, weedeated, and mowed it looks great now took 3 hours. Over the years at one time or another I have mowed probably at least 8 houses on our street that were looking rough. Not regularly just more of a one off basis. I like the exercise and being quite modest I ain’t lazy
