Take a look and notify your lawn service, get your monthly $$$ value! Bottom line is if I have enough energy to participate in all my Villages activities, I'll mow my lawn until not physically able.

Many have aspirations to care for their lawns themselves and then time moves on and the very low prices for lawn maintenance are compelling. In ten years you may change your mind on cutting your own lawn.
We have had lawns mowed by big ole' riding mowers here for eleven years and no patterns or fungus.
