I only talk to the owner who negotiates the price.

That's all I worry about.


I pay $25 total each visit. Extra $15 when they trim my hedges.

I'd say 80-90% of my neighbors all use a lawn service. We don't all use the same one, tho.

I always found it funny when I got a new neighbor and they'd cut their own grass a couple times. Few weeks later, they're using a service. Cutting grass in this Texas heat is for the birds.

Dang, so I bet these guys are mowing a lot of lawns then. 5 bucks a house? Damn, that's skimpy.

Ditto that...

and the service puts 5 guys on my yard. They're done in 15 mins. lol

There's a guy in the neighborhood guy that does mine. I pay him $10-20 depending on if there are lots of tree branches/leaves/misc crap that falls out of the trees. He rakes it up all nice nice, mows the lawn, weed eats and brushes out the cob webs under the deck and porch.

I'll miss him when we move, especially when we have to mow the first time. The new lot is - definitely time for a little riding mower. :D

It's not crazy hot in VA. So what's your excuse, missy?

Child, please. With the humidity, it's been 100+ daily. Last week we had one day where it was 96 degrees and felt like 114 degrees per the National Weather Service.

It's like trying to breathe through a soaking wet towel.

I wish she'd stop using sexual euphemisms.

"they gotta get in and get out quickly"

"they trim my hedges"

I must've talked them up because they showed up today. Only had four guys instead of five today. Took them an extra 5 mins to finish.

I'd mow my lawn but my sister-in-law "borrowed" it back in May and I haven't seen it since. My poot little dog is afraid to go in the yard now because it's twice as high as he is.

True, but 5 bucks in 15 mins, not as bad as it sounds. Not saying they'll be doing 4 lawns every hour though.

Don't be calling Phil Harris names. It's in poor taste to speak ill of the dead. Try to have a little ****ing respect, could you?
