Be careful. Many will say they’ll push mow and won’t. Then one day you’ll come home when they’re cutting and you’ll see them riding a mower.

Yes, to find that you'll simply need to look in the mirror this morning.

Not the results I wanted so, Gave up last week, bought a electric 22”. Corner lot, bagging, takes little less than hour. Mower will pay for itself on 4 months. Soon it will be fall, mow will be every 2-3 weeks, instead of every 10 days.
. You will be surprised how little it needs to be cut oct. to mar.

Front wheel drive is easier to use. I have a Honda gas mower starts first pull. And gas storage is not a big deal. 10 years now

Push Mower
 
I sure do hope you have invested in to a "Self Propelled" push mower. It will make your job soooo much easier. I learned 40 years ago that self propelled was the way to go. Of course, I have graduated to riding around for most of my yard. Trim mower is "Self Propelled". Good luck and stay hydrated.

North we have 1/2 acre, with tractor, and gas 22 inch, plus an abundance of trees to pick up the leaves.
Since lawns are so tiny here a electric works great. I don’t think electric catches on as quickly for older gens who grew up with gas only.
Bonus is I can mow at dawn, or very late, and my neighbors have no idea I am mowing my lawn. Easy on my ears as well

First on our list, No oak trees for us, when we bought. So does your lawn company come every day, or are you mowing every day. Guess buying a home with oaks has mostly downfalls, plus your gutters must be a mess

I can hear my neighbor cutting his lawn twice a week with an electric mower.
They're not that quiet...

Twice a week, he must need Exercise, or just a lawn fanatic , have a hard time believing his grass needs to be cut twice a week. Right now I’m every 10 days bagging. Our houses, compared to the new areas are a lot further apart. Our next-door neighbor and across the street, didn’t even realize we had mowed the lawn that morning, at 6:30am

Thanks for the Reply. I have done the same mowing, Bagging, edging and weedeating myself. Takes me about 1 1/2 hour. I still have hope that there is still one honest Company out there that can do the work .
