There are still teens out here that will mow your property if you are down for the count and not into having a neighbor bring their goats to trim it-the kids like to do it, probably because just about everyone has a riding mower-lots more fun than walking behind one for sure-I mow mine twice per year-it is all native grass-doesn’t need much cutting, if any. The neighborhood kids charge about $40-50 per 2 acres with a riding mower...
Just to be clear: I still mow my own lawn. It’s a house in the Houston area and “acreage” is not an issue. It’s just a front and backyard. And you have no idea who lives in my neighborhood. I have a self-propelled walk behind mower and at this point I do just fine. I was making the point that if I could not longer mow it I would not let my yard turn to shit like the guy in the story did.
