This is the only thing I pay to have done for me.
I only have a third of an acre but it’s cut up with fence lines, islands, gardens, buildings and some such.
If I weed eat all my edges I end up at the chiropractor so it’s an even trade off.

My neighbor's son mows mine. Giving him a chance to earn some money.

I have always mowed my own, lived in town before with a corner lot, enjoyed push mowing it. Moved to the country, I mow about 2 acres. My driveway is almost 300 ft long so I edge more than 600 feet every other week. I have gotten good at edging. I still enjoy it, couldn’t afford to pay someone to mow that much.

one thing that increases the number of yard mowing services in my town is our ethnic population is 74% of the population and almost all of them live in govt. subsidized apartments or rental houses and most of the rental homes have yard mowing service figured into the rent...

I love mowing my own grass. Back years ago, my little farm was so big that during the springtime, once I finished up getting everything cut it was time to do it again. Cutting grass is my mental therapy. Beat laying on a sofa telling a stranger your problems.

Hopefully you can afford to move to a nicer town someday.
What a maroon!

I’m 68. Many years ago, I threw my back out and the doctor put me on bed rest.
I hired someone to mow the yard, once.
That was the only time, ever. And I didn’t think they did a good enough job.
I see a lot of married women mowing and I see a lot of men mowing that have.strapping, healthy sons
Lame.

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

Have a guy that has mowed it for $25 for many years.
Anyone would be stupid to get out in the Texas heat to save $25

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  I had a neighbors yard that was looking a bit shabby- I was worried they might be offended so I waited til they weren’t home and made it look nice…😆

I mow my own. I mow about 6-7 acres regularly and another 15 that I only mow once a month or so

I would rather fish than mow. Yard crew does a better job than I ever did, three guys gone in 45 minutes, high dollar mower.

There isn't much I hate more than yardwork. How about painting? Don't mind painting. The difference is that I'm not allergic to paint. My dad would make me mow the lawn, then my mom would take me to get allergy shots twice a week. Spending at least 1 week per month during the summer sick in bed with sinus infections wasn't fun. I think my dad thought I would develop an immunity, or maybe grow out of it, but of course it doesn't work that way.
