Grass, mow your own or pay someone? - Page 2

We have about 2 acres and I mow it. I generally mow with the riding mower and Erik push mows the bank out front and weed eats. I have to push mow inside the fenced area near the pool.

I would come mow for you if I lived closer, but I doubt you could make it worth my while to come down there now.

My parents had 2 acres that I normally had to mow. My dad also owns a lawn spraying business so our lawn had to look perfect. I had to mow 3 times every two weeks just about.

I mow my own.

I heard Ed calls the Fire Dept to come mow his when it gets too high.

Nope. Living out in the middle of no-where makes me twitch.

I perfer it when she has someone mow it professionally before I plow it

I have a 15,000 sq ft lot and that's considered huge here.

My uncle had 500 acres in rural Virginia but I shudder to think what he paid for it.

I just got done mowing so this thread is funny...I mow it myself, Last year me and The wifey to be re did the entire front lawn...I rented one of those Tillers from Home Depot, and We Sprayed the entire yard with round up to kill it all...It came out nice surprisingly for our first crack at it...This year we are touching up some spots that didnt quite fill in and she just laid down our first round of fertilizer/lime...In about 6 weeks we will Lay down some Scotts W Halts to help out for the summer months...Keeping up with the watering and mowing and it should be looking fairly fresh come next year.

The back yard is a whole nother animal...That i am not that motivated to attempt yet.

Oh, and we live on about 1/2 an Acre.

Just B/c I'm bored and relaxing, Before we Killed the Front Yard...

And After....
