You want to ask your neighbors. Most of these people stay in one area saving time and expense of running all over the villages.
"Lawn hasn't been cut in over 2 weeks and looks bad and weeds are taking over." When you find someone it should be brought down slowly. Cut high. brought down over several weeks so as not to shock the grass. Weeds, you are likely seeing weeds that were always there but were cut off. You can buy weedkiller, I use liquid weed killer, it is faster working than the granulated ones. I simple spray bottle like from empty cleaners and spray em-don't hit bushes etc. Almost fun if you regularly tell em TAKE THAT YOU SUCKER.
I've lived in the traditional private home with a lawn most of my life. In high school I started and ran a lawn mowing business. The climate was far cooler than Florida.
This is the first time in my life that I ever had someone other than me mow my lawn.
Lack of room to store equipment, a too old shot back and all my other excuses. In nine years in the villages, we always pay on time and I am not a particular customer. Good enough is good enough. Our first guy, the best so far, disappeared stealing a months pay from us. The next guy also a nice guy, not as good work as the first, family issues he too disappeared. I called him and he refunded us the half month that he did not do the work. We are now on the third guy in nine years, quality of work is the worst yet.
I do not complain. Not sure but I think one more and I will go back to mowing my own.
I already do the chemistry, the weeding and the hedge trimming.
