You have the option of doing it yourself
We've lived in private homes most of our lives.
This is actually the first time we ever hired someone to mow our lawn. It is a new for us pain in the ...........
The basic guide is a mower should be sharp. Does your commercial guy use a sharp mower-probably not. To maintain a sharp mower would require sharpening several times a week.
You should never cut off more than 1/3 of the grass blade.
At times, summer, that would require mowing twice a week.
I don't think any of the commercial guys, except on the golf courses, do that.
You get cross contamination. St Augustine into your Zoyzia and the other way around. Also weeds and fungus.
Do any of the commercial guys clean their mower after each mowing-I doubt it.
In high school I started an ran a lawn mowing service..
I do my best to be reasonable. Like anything else, some people are too demanding. .Perhaps, everyone should mow their own lawn for a few months to realize what they have CHOSEN to pay someone else to do. .
