Have you thought about a gardner? I've had one the last 8 months, it totally kicks butt!!!!!

 

[Westy]

Some of us are in a financial situation where we are more likely to become a gardener than to hire one.

Echo, how much to mow your lawn

Tell them you're growing it for hay to sell. I got all entrepenurial one summer when my family was gone (a few years ago), and quit mowing the 2 acre lawn. Got a local guy to come in and cut it and bail it for free, if I gave him half the hay. Sold the other half.

It all depends on how valuable your time is to you.

I enjoy my time alone. Which is why I mow my 5 acres. Simple pleasures.

 

[Jozz]

Buy a sheep, install metal cage around mouth, adjust cage for desire lenght of grass, move sheep anchor point every two days, go ride!

Voilà!

Dude, I'm right with ya!

I rent my apt. on a farm and I volunteer to mow my own lawn with a push mower. It takes me about 45min-1hr but man a push mower makes it look so nice.

I used to work on a farm full time and I would weed wack and mow all day. Best job ever... the weed wacking kind of sucked sometimes though....

 

[TreeSaw]

Sounds like you need a lawn mower with a beer cuzie attached to it! That works for our big a$$ lawn!

I used to enjoy the 4+ hours it took to mow my lawn, but I stop liking it in the summer time when you need to do it every single weekend.

Now I live in an apartment with a lawn that the landlord takes care of, and I find myself missing the mowing, shoveling snow, and everything else that goes along with living in a rural area...

 

[Velocity Girl]

Ours gets to that point for the very same reason!!! I had to force myself last night to at least do the front yard so we wouldn't look like the white trash neighbors on the block any longer. It's actually something I don't mind doing....I worked on my brothers lawn crew for a few summers and enjoyed it...it's just that riding is so much more fun

Lessee. I mow on average about once/mo. It takes about an hour. $75/hour. I'll work for that!

You have grass in your lawn? My back yard is all weeds...

This year is the first in quite a few that I am mowing my own yard again. My lawn-guy quit and the replacement guy costs more. Before it was $20/cut which worked out to about $60-$80 per month. Not bad. But the new guy cuts every week. So I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new mower.

Plus, it was just silly that I cut my g/f's yard (1/2 acre but she has a riding mower) and I paid somebody to cut my own yard...

Unfortunately, my back yard still looks like a jungle due to piles of debris from a tree I cut down a few weeks ago. Need to get the shredder back from my mother...

Then there are the weeds in the flower beds...

I guess you guys can do that out in Utah... not much to burn out there...

I'm tempted to torch my backyard...The Crabgrass mafia has setup shop.

 

[Cursor]

i only pay $30/month for my gardener to mow and blow every other week. but i live in the city so i don't have much of a front or back yard.

mow and blow every other week.

 

[Clark Kent]

I kick mine out after the ride home in the evening...good cross training dont ya know... And its out a the way for the weekend......

 

[BigMike]

My neighbor two houses away bought a riding mower, and my next door neighbor and he loooove to use it. I came home yesterday ready to mow, and lo and behold, the half toward his house was done, and he did half of the other half!

Ahh, the joys of having compulsive neighbors

 

[splat]

So I go out , feed the grubs , Water the crab grass , and Mow Dandilions. thats my yard.

and usually I have a CD walkman with me blasting some 80's tunes

 

[Yippie!]

Because of all the rain, things are green
and lush around here. Looks like England, but the people aren't as polite.
When I mow, rather than going back & forth, back & forth, I go around & around, following the contour of the yard. It looks more interesting.
Why, it's raining right now.

 

[matts73240]

the fake stuff-you never have to mow, water, fertilize,weed, dont have to worry about pet urine burns. looks green all year . just dont tell your neighbors that its not real.

would that be cheating? some sports stadiums have this stuff, why not install it on our yards?

you dont mow another man's lawn.

 

[Knuckleslammer]

I got some chinamen to cut my grass, 17 buck a week. Like 19 of them show up and it's a frenzy for 10 minutes and they're gone and you never knew they were there. Now my neighbors don't have to watch me mow my lawn in a rage and throw the thing into the woods when I hit roots and rocks in the back. There is nothing more boring than cutting grass. Not my problem anymore. PHUCK GRASS :d

Oh, and dude, Chinamen is not the preferred nomenclature, Asain American.
