If my mower dies or if I physically can't do it anymore I will then hire a lawn service. Until then I will do my own.

I do my .75 ac with a push mower. Takes about 1 hr with weed eating. Usually after a 12-14 hr day at work. Im only 52 and not lazy. Not paying someone to do what I can do myself.

* I forgot to add, I feel a great sense of satisfaction when I see a shaggy yard look manicured, and I did it!
I bet most of you do as well! IN65
Addendum: Whether you cut your own lawn or hire a service, a beautiful, trim yard is nice to see for 3 days!

Addendum:" Whether you cut your own lawn or hire a service, a beautiful, trim yard is nice to see for 3 days!"...three days is about right. I am mowing mine about every six days to keep it looking nice. With my walk behind mow, edging trimming etc... takes about 1 1/2-1 3/4 hours. I let a couple of local high schoolers do it about once every six weeks and they knock it out in less than an hour.

I mow mine as well. I also clear under the trees with a brush cutting head on my line trimmer, then trim the grass areas. Pick up limbs and branches every wind storm, drag em to the burn pile, etc. I did not take into account that I would be a ranch hand when buying a place in the country. There is always, something to be done outside. Like someone else said, I'll do it til I can't. The weedeating is what always killed me. Next time you trim grass down under the trees, hit it with some roundup afterwards and then you don't have to worry about weedeating again for a few months.
