Welcome to Sanibel....
I would check out a few references in person, before contracting with anyone. I just had our current lawn mowing service owner come out to discuss how it looks just after a mowing. There are lots of scalping marks, and weed trimmer circles in our lawn. The take-away from the conversation was that this is the best that they can do with a riding mower since the homes have very little room between them for the large mowers to maneuver. When I asked about using a push mower, I was told that my lawn would be dead in 2 years due to thatch build up. I now need to decide if I want to buy a mower, and weed trimmer, to do the lawn cutting myself, or find another lawn service.
