Common Courtesy Times to Cut Grass

How awful!!! At our condo in Florida, nothing before 8 or after 5.

When I was still young and living with my parents, it's as early as 6am. But neighborhood don't mind. Most of the people there start things way early. And since I'm an early bird kind of person, I don't mind the same.

My neighbor was previously making so much noises with his motorcycle and car at 6.30. We couldnt stand it any longer and we made a complaint. Things are much better now. I think 9 am is a good time for grass cutting. Your neighbor must not think about himself only but his neighbors too

If I am not mistaken, I think "legally" the gardeners can do their thing from 7am. I know our neighbor's gardeners will turn on their lawnmowers at 7 on the dot. My dad is a gardener and he was annoyed with that 7am time - he used to start work much earlier to stay out of the heat. But I can see how people would be annoyed with the noise starting way too early . . . I'd say 8 for the weekdays and 9 for weekends.

I would've been sooo mad! My neighbors on the left side (so the side of the house where my bedroom is) can be so loud! I think either some have moved out, or they have gotten older and more mature.. because they aren't as loud anymore, thankfully. I think 9 am is a good time.

I always waited until ten.

I would suggest they wait until 8 at least, but I am not sure there is much you can do about it unless there are noise ordinances for the community.

That would irritate me so bad! Thankfully my neighbors usually mow in the afternoon, and so do we.

Is it on a weekend? If it is then that's just rude! On a weekday 9am I think is just fine. If that cannot be done during a "courteous" time of day, I think a courtesy call or heads up will be proper. One time we have to have some work done for a new back porch during the whole weekend. While our property is a considerable distance from our next neighbors, we went to their houses and let them know ahead about our construction project for the next couple of days as a courtesy that there will be some workers around the property and that will be the reason for all the banging and noise.

Complain to the person who did the mowing! That is a tad early for sure.

To me, 10am.

7am is a bit early...if I had a day off and didn't have to get up at 6am and someone started making noise at 7am I'd be pissed off. Is it a one off or do they do it regularly?

Rudeness and noise has become the order of the day.

I feel like 8 am is a good time to start things like that. Most normal people are normally up by that time or getting up at the time.

I am glad that videoke curfew is now widely implemented in our country. Now I can say my not so polite neighbors learn what courtesy means serves them well.

Yes it is a discourtesy if it is still early in the morning, since most are still in bed by that time. Maybe as a courtesy the days before the one who hired the professional should have informed the neighbors.

I think that 9 a.m. would be reasonable. Everyone is up and has started their day!

That's pretty much early...

Even though I am up every morning at 6a.m. it is still very annoying hearing that mower so early in the morning. I would say 9 a.m. at least.
