Default Lawn mowing

Does anyone use Just Pushmowers for lawn cutting? I would like opinions.

Several contractors cut lawns, by using a push mover. I know of two who are in my area, that will charge $35/month.

The other option is to buy a mower and do it yourself. You can save $420/year, minus your time, effort, and the cost of running your mower

Very many of them offer that now. Seems most of them have gotten the word that we don't like our lawn ruined by their fast turning riding mowers that are the size of an suv. It will probably cost a few dollars more though.

I use a push mower, I enjoy doing the lawn myself, if that is your question buy a good mower I have a honda with front wheel drive and large wheels in the rear. Last year I cut the lawn 26 times. In the summer once a week and once a month in the winter.

Me too. For St. Augustine, cut it high and cut it often.

I use Blade Down Lawn and Landscape. They are a young couple just starting out. They cut lawn at 4 inches instead of the 3 inch hight others leave the lawn burns otherwise. They also use hand movers when requested. I highly recommend them Their number is 352-272-0086.

Being a snow bird, Blade Down Landscape at 352-272-0086 trims my bushes and extensive landscape three times a year. This way, I don't have to worry about anything being overgrown when I am not there. Not the large corperation who know you as an account number, Chaske and Amber deal with their customers on a personal relationship and care about how the property looks. A young couple, trying to compete with the big boys isn't easy but if they continue with their superior service Blade Down will have a growing business. Remember, they use hand mowers on request.
