Perhaps our expectations are too high for the amount of money paid for lawn mowing. Currently I pay $45.00 a month and I paid $45.00 per CUT before I retired and moved to Florida. Do the math. Just a thought......

I agree! Villagers expect a lot for very little money. $50 a month for mowing. If it were mowed every week that would be $12.50 per mowing. Try to get your lawn mowed for that up North. Even the high school kids wouldn't do it for that! People get what they pay for. That is why the mowers go to 10 -14 days for mowing intervals. Since most lawns are not growing properly they feel justified coming less often. It is also the only way they can make some money. I do my own lawn care and with proper fertilization a well growing, zoysia lawn needs to be mown every 5-7 days. This gives you a beautiful, even carpet like appearance when mowed at the correct height. (Zoysia 2 or 2 1/2 inches)
