I think it would be wonderful if each CDD could contract with a licensed firm to cut each property. Cost could be based on approx lot size. Or one general charge for Premier, Designer, and Villa. Would be so much easier for most homeowners, especially snowbirds or owners renting homes.
It’s probably too late now that TV is so entrenched , but I feel the benefits would be awesome. Each homeowner done in each area. Less roads being blocked with many landscape trucks daily. Noise concentrated to only a part of one day per week. And no doubt lower costs for homeowners. Very efficient.
Like everyone has said TV is too big to have one service to every lawn. It would be nice to have the same service do a street as there is someone always cutting all days of the week. It seems due to the many different services that are doing lawns they don’t take any care in their lawn care as they are just cutting and moving on to the next one. Also having those large mowers for the small spaces that leave large divots and tracks in the grass.
I like the idea of doing lawns together on a street and will ask my neighbors if that’s something they would like to do.
