Lawn care service is one of the biggest wastes of money in The Villages- we mowed 3 times from early Feb until June 1-could hardly see tracks of where the mower had been - and fertilized once. We will fertilize once in the fall with a spreader that cost under $40. Our lawn looks great - we can easily afford to pay for it to be done but WHY when many weeks go by when the lawn needs NOTHING ! Buy yourself an electric mower and edger and it will take less than an hour of your time only WHEN it needs to be done. These tools will easily pay for themselves very quickly compared to the cost of hiring services. We hired a neighbor to mow this summer while we are away and that is it !!!! More retired people should be careful how they spend their money as many will outlive their funds...use what you saved from lawn service toward a trip or something else worthwhile !
