with the mild winter we had i broke down and got the old lawnmower out yesterday and cut the yard for the first time this year, this will continue every 6 days (on average) till october, my yard grows fast as shit. Today ill be weed eating and deweeding flower beds. How often do others have to cut their yard to keep them respectable looking.

 

Heh... it'll probably be several weeks before my lawn comes out of dormancy and really starts growing.

 

Once a week. I keep the mower at the highest setting to prevent evaporation. It's bad to cut your lawn too short.

 

yes i had a friend who did this, moved in had a decent looking yard, scalped it when he cut it and from then on the rest of the year his yard looked like crap.

 

i gotta try that method

 

Wow, I have to cut mine every 3 to 4 days over the summer. Sucks, but looks nice. Grows like a f'in weed.

 

Just got my first house in Feb. Cut the grass 2 weeks ago for the first time in 9 years! Bought a nice Honda as many on the board have suggested. Need to get some weed and feed, weed wacker, edger, and fire ant killer...

 

fire ants suck, and that honda was a good choice.

 

I do mine about 1 a week, but sometimes it goes 2 weeks if I'm busy.

It's true that you don't want to cut the lawn too short...

 

if i wait more than 10 days it gets so tall it stalls out the mower

 

Always lawn season here. Japanese gardener cuts it once a week.

 

Time for a bigger mower

If I wait 10 days, I used to have to rake, but I've got a lawn sweeper now

 

yeah my rider broke last year so now i stuck with the push mower for this year. im trying to talk the wife into a new rider but idont think shes buying my pitch.

 

I mow mine every 3-4 days.. But then again.. I mow lawns for a living.. I own a landscaping company and own 5 Honda Commercial Lawnmowers.. lol

 

all i have now is my old kick down pusher , 3.5 BS its at least 10 years old yet starts everytime even after sitting all winter, i filled it with gas, primed it and it started in two pulls, so it hard it knock it.

 

I've got 2 riders now, but I thinking about buying a cheap push mower to get into the spots that the riders don't reach...

 

you have a john deere, im so jealous

 

i mow about once a week. i've already mowed 4-5 times this year, the first being in january.


we didn't have a winter in the northwest this year.

 

Once a week now...twice a week in Summer.

 

i have to cut mine twice a week so it doesnt look like a field, atleast i have acouple weeks before that starts!

 

Yeah, but since my JD is older then you it's nothing to brag about

 

Once every 2 weeks. But the grass is pretty damn tall after 2 weeks.
