We just had our 8th lawn service (3 in a year) drop us because they lost staff. Contacted 11 companies, including following those who mow in our neighborhood. You might want to see if you can get any mower, much less a walk behind.
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. |

Mowing like vacuuming is very good exercise for the older Sloth!

Amazon has robot mowers. Check them out. If course it won't bag .

Good luck finding someone who will use a non riding mower and be ready to pay 50% more. In these times, tough for lawn companies to find laborers.

It’s inefficient for a commercial business which needs volume and speed. Like finding needle in haystack.

It's not efficient for a viable business to cut lawns this way. Would be like hiring a painter but only if the don't use rollers.

We also mow our own lawn with a 20" Kobalt electric. It's the trimming that takes the time. |

Probably the best thing you could do is buy your own mower and do it yourself. No lawn mowing service can live up to those standards. You will find that people who do their own yard work stay in better shape than those who don’t. I have been in the Villages for over 9 years and I do all my own lawn and gardening. People used to laugh at me with my dirty face and sweaty appearance when I was doing extensive gardening and yard work, but now they have trouble walking and getting around and they no longer stop to tell me not to work so hard. That may not be the answer you are looking for.

There is an opening for you if you want to do the work.

We bought the EGO self propelled, with 1 hour rapid charge. The rear propelled wheels takes getting used to. Once the heat settles down mowing will be a snap. Plus I know that I will show up every week, Sadly getting paid in a round about way sucks

My SIL has an electric mower and needs to change battery before he is done |

Our battery is a one hour charge, corner lot 10,000sf. It will last the entire lawn, but with little juice left. If I wasn’t bagging it might mow 1.5 times. We spent more for the rapid charge but worth it. A new battery for us is $359. Manufacturers warranty is for 3 years. Will see
