An endless topic. You will find that the people who do this work stay in one area saving time, cost of driving around. Haven't mowed since high school? In high school, I set up a mowing business so been there done that. Here what you will find is you may need to deal with more than one person. To apply lawn chemistry they need to be licensed.
If, your property is so small that you estimate 5-10 minutes to do it, you may consider doing it yourself. Mowers have changed quite a bit since we were in high school. With a small place a battery powered mower would be fine. A prof person will mow once a week and in fall? come once or twice a month and expect to be paid. In summer it is likely that your grass should be mowed more often than once a week and in fall and winter probably once a month or less is adequate.
I have a person mow and edge. I do the chemistry, weeding the beds, trimming the bushes myself. I have a 5,000 sq foot lawn and guess about hour and half a week. Unlike a prof,
I do not need to do it every tuesday, I do it when I feel like. Complaints-I can only blame myself.
You have a new sod lawn. It is winter. Your lawn will take a while to root in. Be sure to properly water it.
