We are new too. We have Stellar and they ring the door bell for everything they plan on doing to your lawn. I got tired of it and complained and had my husband intervene and tell them to just do what they have to do, leave their service invoice in the door jamb and not ring the bell. It is annoying. I think they are just trying to be friendly and responsive to their customers but I just want them to do their job and if I have an issue I will call. We'll see how it works out.

We have Tri County Landscaping and they have rung our bell if it's questionable on whether to mow that week. If the lawn is stressed from drought, or if the Zoysia is dormant and they know we like it a little long they'll ask if we want it mowed that week. In the meantime they trim and weed and are exceptionally professional and courteous. We've had them for 2 years and appreciate them asking us our opinion. It's not bothersome because it doesn't happen often and we consider it great customer service.

Wow, Do not ring the bell,its annoying. They only come by what once a week or twice a month.

Tom, we are on the golf course and haven't heard a mower since I've been here which is almost a month now. I must admit, I was prepared to be woke up early by mowers and to my delight it's not happening!

Thanks for the news about mowing the golf courses! I bought a lot on one recently and had no idea they would perhaps start at 5 AM. Yikes! I feel I rise fairly early 6-6:30 or so, but not sure I want to hear a mower so early. I am on a berm, however, so maybe it won't be so bad? I'll have earplugs just in case! Thanks for the heads up!

We have lived on golf front (Palmer) since Oct. and never once have we heard lawmovers on the golf course. We asked neighbors before we bought and not one of them said they heard the mowers. (Good news for all). I don't even know when they mow!!!

I don't think you have anything to worry about, Hotrodgirl. We've backed on a golf course for 5 years. I sleep with the windows open and I'm a light sleeper, but I've never heard maintenance equipment. Sometimes I'm wandering sleepily around in the middle of the night and I see lights on the golf course. So I guess they mow very, very early. But the equipment is strangely quiet. Another Village miracle.

No . Mine have never but I wish they would. Car in the driveway hit with debris. Company on the Lanai. There timing is never consistent. Now with the rainy season it will be worse I'm sure.

Don't really care what time they start as long as I don't have to cut,edge,weed and blow. I just wish that Sundays were an off day for ALL construction work in TV. I don't think asking for one day off is to much. JMO
