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.

As stated above, I prefer to hire who I want to take care of my yard. I frequently see people recommend using the same mower that your neighbors use. Before you do that, take a close look at your neighbors yard. My neighbor only hires mowers. No fertilization, no weed control... He has bermuda sprouting up all through his back yard and when we had the same mower it got spread to my yard. I switched mowers and explained to the new mower why I switched. When my neighbor approached him about mowing his yard, he politely declined by saying he wasn't taking on new clients. He had my back!
