Looking to finding out how much people are paying for lawn mowing

I pay $60/month for push-mowing by Push 'N Go Lawn Care of Summerfield. 352-288-0832. I live in a ranch home on an oversized lot in Amelia. Been here 9 years & learned that first year not to use those big riding lawn mowers--they make ruts in your yard and scalp your lawn in a tight turn.

It's the operator of the zero turn mower, not the mower itself. Changing up the mowing pattern eliminates any ruts from forming over time. Backing out of tight spots eliminates the bare spot. Bare spots are caused from the mower tires, not the mower blades.

My point is that the crews don't change up the pattern, mostly because these yards aren't big enough. You can tell the yards that are mowed with riding lawn mowers. I didn't mention anything about bare spots. By scalped I mean a crew cut spot.

Do you "bag" the clippings.... or would that be an extra charge??
Thanks
