Hi and welcome! We cut our own lawn although I will say, in the summer you need to do it in the early morning or possibly after dinner due to the heat. Both my husband and I enjoy working in the yard and besides, we are very fussy. Most of the lawn services only take a few minutes to do a yard and as I have seen time and time again, do not weed wack behind downspouts, etc... and are just not detailed. They make their money but cutting the masses, and I get that. They mostly use the large machines, except for a few of the companies and if they cut your lawn in the same direction each week, it can get ruts all through it. We also don't want to have others weeds spread into our yard from mowers who have just been at another yard with weeds.
With all that said, depending on the size of your yard and how much work you really like to do has to play into your plan.
Yard work is not for everyone, so it will depend on you.
