Have you had your lawn mowed yet this year (Northern Hemisphere)?

Have you had your lawn mowed yet this year (Northern Hemisphere)?

Do you do that or is it hired / paid in rent, fees, etc.?

[Stottie Girl]

Well I mowed it myself yes but my lawn is only about 15 feet long by 8ft wide! I have a tiny garden! Bijou one might say!

I hate mowing and I hate lawns to be honest but they are a necessary evil I suppose.

I live in the desert.

My yard is sand, gravel, and rocks. Decorated with Texas Red Yucca plants and barrel cacti.

I do have a few rose bushes, but I don't let them get mowed.

🤣

[Rochelle]

Not yet.  I need to remove left over leaves and probably shortly after that.

Lawn???    We do mow some of the ground cover in our yard, but very little of it is lawn grass.  It's mostly forest floor without a forest.  But (a) very little of it is green yet, and none is long enough to mow, and (b) we practise "no-mow May". 

No-mow May is a program to protect pollinators.  April doesn't count, because nothing is growing yet.  By May, some lawns are getting high enough to cut, but there are very few flowering plants.  Pollinators, mostly bees, have very little to eat.  What there is is dandelions.  Lots and lots of dandelions.  The program asks people not to mow in May in order to protect the dandelions, to protect the bees.  By June, enough other flowers are out that it is okay to mow dandelions.

They also ask us to leave the leaf litter from last fall until after that first mowing in June, to provide habitat for a lot of beneficial insects that haven't woken up from hibernation yet.

When it is time to mow, I do it myself.

Our lawn is feral. No mowing. I occasionally use a weed trimmer near the mailbox if the vegetation gets too tall.

I have to mow every 2 to 3 weeks. It takes about 4.5 hours with a ride mower

Tell the whole story, Jess.

You have nine lawnmowers working out there.

[BlueJaye]

No. I have never had my lawn mowed. I do it myself. But haven't had to yet this year.

Ok. I do have several large autonomous four-legged bio-mechanical herbivorous life forms who manicure and fertilize our yard on a regular basis. They work cheap, just an occasional bucket of drinking water.

Well I have done that.

Still got snow on it. I got a kobota with a 60 in deck and a loader on it. I take the deck off in the be winter so I can scoop snow.

[Northern Star Girl ✅]

way, way too early.  spring season has very definitely not "sprung" yet here.

That is a big deck.  Some highway crews use bigger but that is a big deck.

Yes, have to pay my local council for it and they are more lax than Ready Player One. I would probably organise a robo-thingy if they weren't more suspicious than "The Terninator."

We discussed using a drone to clear the cobwebs. For lawns, just fly upside-down and really, really close to the ground.

That's only 5 feet.

[ChrissyRyan]

That's only 5 feet.

Seems like a wide cut.  Most push mowers are like two feet for its cutting width.
Many lawn tractors have a three feet cut.

So five feet seems big.
