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
Corner lot and I just started using a service this year… been here 20 years. Corner lots suck! Edging is like triple because of the damn sidewalk and fence.
What a maroon!

I had a neighbor several years back that was 93 years old and still mowed her own lawn with a push mower.
I offered to cut her grass but she insisted on doing it herself. She also drove a 3 on the column manual Comet and spent her time volunteering at the senior center in town.

I am gone too often to do my own, it would look like a cow pasture most of the time. My yard is close to two acres, back yard is the same, my son keeps it mowed.

Mowing is good therapy and exercise, till it gets to be 102 degrees during the summer!

I pay to have some mexicans mow mine. It's worth $40 to me to have someone else do it. Last guy charged me $40 for the front yard and didn't edge or sweep. I do my own.

Corner lot and I just started using a service this year… been here 20 years. Corner lots suck! Edging is like triple because of the damn sidewalk and fence. That's right... and don't forget about the sidewalk easement grass, have to edge both sides of all that. With the push mower, edging and sweeping up it takes 2 hours. But for the prices I've been quoted to do it... it's worth it.

Dan, I use a push mower and I'm faster than any self propelled I've used.

I've had mine mowed for 10+ years. The arthritis in my back was beginning to get bad and even with a self-propelled mower it really bothered me for several days. Never regretted the decision. The guys have even down several other things for me over the years, all landscape related.

I gave up the yard work when my oldest bought his first house last year. I gave him all of my tools and started with a yard service. Best 30 bucks a week I spend.

My 13 year old son is saving up money to get a pressure washer and a lawn mower. He won't quit until he gets every lawn and car detail in the neighborhood.

I mowed the back yard and paid a kid that lives in the neighborhood to do the front and trim... just started letting him do it all for $50.. he has been dependable for 4 years.
