  • This overgrown backyard was a treasure chest of obstacles, and had the toughest grass I have ever encountered!
    This was early in my mowing career, and I had a lot more stamina than I do now, and I did the best I could with the tools I could afford. We all start somewhere :)
    Have a great day!

If you think that the average person cuts their lawn for the season and when the season of over that is a year when I had 42 laws to cut in a week that would be equivalent to 42 years of work for that mower per summer. A lot of the lawns that I did were the hard ones that were difficult and that was why I was hired. Big hills and big lawns were typical. The big thing that would wear out with me was the mower bodies and blades. They crack near the wheels and yes you wear the wheels out as well. I have one mower still and it runs like a champ and I used to use it for my business for three or four years and for my own lawn now for the last 20 years plus. It is just starting to smoke a bit when it is running and I don't blame it after what it has been through. lol. By the way I used mainly Toro and Honda mowers.

      That's VERY fair... At least in my area. The going rate is about 20-30/hr per person. Right now I pay $30/hr for one person or $60 for 2.
      I have just shy of an acre and right now for every other week maintenance (mowing and weed eating), it takes about 3-4 hours hours for one person, so it's not too bad.
