The problem was quality of work and reliability. I only fired one, the rest quit. I am 74 years old but today I went to Lowe’s and bought a Craftsman, 21 inch , self-propelled Lawn Mower. I’m tired of the aggravation with these Lawn Mowing companies. Most of my neighbors mow their own lawn. They would mow mine, when I did not have anyone to do it. The rest don’t care or have zero standards when it comes to their lawns. They all have mowing companies that use the ZERO Turn riding lawn mowers.
I am sorry but I do not have a recommendation for you. Maybe you will find someone. I am even thinking about hire a young kid to use my mower and mow my grass and I’ll pay him by the hour. Any volunteers????

Amusing post. Been their done that including setting up a mowing, snow shoveling business in high school. As far as standards, my standard is good enough.
You may well find the only one who will meet your standards is you. As you are not running a mowing business there is no reason why you must do the whole job in one day.
Re: bagging. It you mow often enough and your mower has a mulching blade, there is no need to pick up the clippings. Not in Florida and we had far more space but I used to have two mowers one for bagging and the other for mulching. The mulching mower had a different blade and no provision to attach a bag. It had quality wheels and far lighter than a typical mower. It was not self propelled but it simply didn't matter due to light weight and quality wheels.
