To mow...or not to mow

[fruitful]

Still mowing. Tried having mowers this year. The yard has suffered from being cut too short at least once and it can’t really recover in the intense heat of late summer. Mowing it myself allows me to mow when needed rather than keeping to a schedule that supports weekly billing. I can also spot turf issues as they come up - weeds and disease.

Kobalt 80V mower, EGO trimmer, edger, and blower. Quiet enough to mow as early as 7am. 14,000sf of lawn. I am early 60s.

I’m 69 yo and I still mow, trim, etc. And I intend to as long as I can. Fortunately our lot is small enough. We, mostly DW, also take care of our own landscaping. The more active we are, the longer we’ll enjoy some quality of life?

I don’t mind mowing but I have an acre and my health isn’t 100% so I may need to farm out that job sooner than anticipated. Ultimately, we’ll probably move into a condo situation.
