Do You Mow Your Own Lawn ?? .. Does This Go Beyond Lawncare ??

[Chronos]

I voted "Oh, hell naw!"

 

I pay the landscapers to do it. I've never found it enjoyable.

My son knows the score. Why do we take pride in doing our own lawn and landscaping? "To dominate the neighbors dad"! smart young man... ;)

I've been known to. Years ago, I did my dad's lawn, after he taught me how to work the electric mower - using the pull-cord on it. Then I did my father-in-law's lawn, and since he'd been gone, Mr Babycat does the lawn for his mother instead.

I’ve mowed the lawn since childhood. The only enjoyable part of it was when I finally convinced my mother to dump the ancient electric mower in favor of a gas mower.....and that was only five years ago. She’s stubborn.

Two women do mine, one lays flat while the other one carries her around by the legs and she eats the grass as she goes.

 

That takes 'eating a salad' too far, I feel...

Yeah, I mow my own lawn.

 

I will continue to do so as long as I am physically able.

 

I have a Scott's old school push mower.

 

It takes a heck of a long time, but the results are amazing.

 

No wasted gas and no pollution.

 

Great exercise as well.

 

There's nothing like mowing your own lawn.

I never had lawn care. I love taking care of my lawn and being retired, I spend a lot of time outside enjoying it and tending to my garden.

 

 

Me, I'm just a lawnmower you can tell me by the way I walk.

I agree with you...there's such peace at being outside, sweating and the instant gratification of a job well done.

 

i feel so close to God and nature...for me, it is church.

 

I just love it.

I have just over an acre, so I have a John Deere D125. I really enjoy mowing my lawn. It’s kind of relaxing. :)

No lawn. I live on a 1/3 acre of cedar trees. It'as mostly solaw and ferns.

Hi Lucas & Friends,

Beginning in April of 1988, I started doing the yardwork at my grandparents home; granddad wasn't up to it anymore. I'd go through quite a few lawnmowers over the years; and weedeaters as well. It was a task I took pride in, in helping my grandmother & aunt ( the one who was placed into nursing home in 2016). Yep, so do the math; I worked that front & back yard for 25 + years. Until other relatives took over the house.

My yard is a work in progress; I mow it just-about weekly, and I know I need to do a lot more as for other weeds, tree branches & other debris; and I will.

Great topic of discussion Lucas !
