NGKUR: Cutting grass

[Sparkly]

Another New Englander - no need at this point. Once there is, MH does it once a week or has a tantrum. He likes his lawn to look good. I honestly do not care but he seems to enjoy it and I don't have to do it so yay.

This was not the mowing thread I thought it was going to be.

We have landscapers, come to take care of the lawn, it's too big and we're too lazy to do it ourselves. They will probably start up early to mid May is my guess. H handles the landscapers.

I don't think anyone has started mowing yet near me, we're barely starting to hit spring. We have a landscaper mow about every other week. I'm annoyed we don't mow it ourselves but DH would rather pay....

We're still a couple weeks out before mowing needs to happen. Always just in time for the next door neighbors to head south to visit their daughter for a couple of weeks. We always look after each other's yards/houses and DH always pitches a fit to me that they leave as growing season starts.

Our yard needs to be mowed about twice a week or at minimum 3 times in a 2 week period.

We have mostly retired neighbors, they're out mowing 2-3 times a week. Their lawns are all so short, like they're scalped because they need some project.

Confession: I have never in my life mowed a lawn.

Whenever I lived somewhere with grass, I had either a dad or a landlord to mow the grass. Since then, the houses DH and I have lived in have been landscaped in the front, patio-ed in the back.

We cut our lawn for the first time last weekend, and usually have to do it every week after that. We don't like going more than 2 weeks. It doesn't take long though... usually an hour or so.

I haven't either!  And I'm perfectly fine with that.

We just moved into our home in November, and it has only been warm enough here for the grass to turn from snow to brown to slightly greener brown so far. The previous owners had just had a whole new septic put in before we bought the house, so a lot of the yard isn't properly seeded. I came from a sod farming community, so I'll get a few bags of seed from my moms neighbors to put down and hopefully we'll get a nice green lawn. Our business though is an outdoor facility that's about 50 acres, mostly grassy, so either one of us is cutting grass almost every day throughout the summer.

MH was just talking about needing to cut it soon. I think we're still a few weeks away from needing to though. He cuts it about once a week which works out pretty well. We have a relatively small yard so it takes him an hour or so to cut it.

DH was talking about cutting ours this weekend. We also live in a mostly retired community and it seems everyone is cutting their grass constantly. One time a neighbor cut our front yard, it wasn't even that bad! DH was so mad... Anyway DH will cut ours about once a week, we are in Michigan.
