Is there something different down there in FL?
You said YOU were riding around on a John Deere up North, you could see if any sprinkler heads stayed up slightly and not cut them off with your mower.
Things are different here. The landscape companies cutting your lawn will slice off any raised heads quicker than lightning. IF you cut your own lawn, then no problem.
