Ask your neighbors. The Villages is huge. Most of these people stay in one section rather than wasting time and money driving all over the place. As far as not using a riding mower,
I would guess someone who does smaller lawns like the Villas would use a smaller mower-not a rider mower. I do not mow my own lawn. Actually this is the first time in my life that I did not do my own. My back is a mess and I am older today than I was yesterday. However, once a week is Villages tradition. You are not supposed to cut off more than 1/3rd of the grass blade. Once a week at times is not often enough and at other times it is too often. Keeping blades sharp? Not bringing weeds? Not mowing wet grass in the rain? Only way to properly do it is to do it yourself.
