The way I plan it, I will have to cut it myself Sept thru Nov, it's dormant from Dec to Mar, then I'll do it myself again April thru June. If this doesn't work out for me, then I'll be forced to pay close to $500 a year for my tiny lawn to be cut. I've been told on this board already about what a great deal this is. Well anything is a great deal if you have enough money to pay it. Personally I'd like to use $500 for something else and I don't mind spending 30 minutes a week to maintain the yard.
Have you come up with a solution for July and August?
When you're away for the two months, do you use a homewatch? if so, they 'might' know someone who would mow for the two months. Doesn't hurt to ask them.
