I've got one last season of leaf-raking and possible snow-shoveling before I retire and am NOT going to miss either of those. However, I do think I'll miss mowing the lawn. I'm currently paying someone to mow the lawn on my house in The Villages (which I'm renting out) and that kind of goes against my grain. For the yearly price of that, I think I could buy a decent battery-powered mower and weed-whacker combo. I could bring down my current gas mower and whacker but I'd like to give up the noise and smell for a battery set. Of course, once I get there, I might well find that giving any up my precious fun time might be just too much to do and could end up continuing to pay a service. Only time will tell!

I mow my own and I bag the grass; the "experts" say that the thatch buildup from the zoysia can cause a fungus.

I now trim, mow, weedwack and fertilize. I have a simple designer lot and takes about a half hour to do my job so no big deal!!

Been in TV about 10 years and I want no part of mowing, trim, weeding the yard. It's too hot and humid 8 months out of the year to mow for 40.00 month. The other issue is storing all that stuff in the garage. I see a lot of guys giving it up after one or two years. But to each his own. My guess is 20% (max) do their own yards.

Depending on the size of the lawn, lots of companies!

Another savings. $40 a month is a winner! Let's see that's another $60 in saving's plus saving $8000 on taxes, $1000 on car insurance, $4000 on heating oil. Yup I'm Nutty Nucky for bailing out of Jorsey.

A LOT of people. You need to get three quotes. Someone on this forum advertises $45 a month for any home in The Villages. We started out nine years ago with $35. It is for cutting and edging only however and year' round, that is only fair..

The $45 a month or so is only one of the reasons I cut my own lawn.Another reason is I can determine how often or how short to cut my lawn.I don't know why anyone would want their grass cut weekly !! Especially in the dormant season.I know you feel you pay for it so it should be done but it's not necessary and could be harmful to your lawns health. Last but not least I don't have anyone else's problems being transferred to my lawn on the blades of a mower that just cut their yards.

We live on a street with 21 homes. Until recent, my hubby and Bosoxfan have been doing it themselves and now after dealing with several of "the best" local lawn companies, we now have 5 other homeowners who cut their own grass.
Guess whose yards look better? Also it's good exercise and I think they actually enjoy it. My hubby has electric 40 volt "greenworks" mower, edger, trimmer etc. They don't take up that much space and hubby is happy to spend the time to getting a bit of exercise. |

I mow my own lawn and I have always bagged it. I mow it the highest it will go. I have the best looking lawn in my neighborhood.
