Can anyone recommend a mowing service that hires out for a short 2-3 week period that I'm traveling and away from my home? The companies I've call will only cut if you contract with them for year. I'm located South of 466A.

Tell them you will pay twice the usual amount and they may do it for you. You see, the companies DO contract for a year and their very good price (usually around 35$) is for the 12 month period, in which part of the time the grass grows fast and furious and part of the time the grass doesn't grow much at all.

It is only fair to them to pay a higher rate for a short term contract. IMHO
