do you do your own lawn or do you have a service that does it?   

I use a lawn service.
Usually im to busy to do my own lawn, plus I work outside myself so i dont want to be in the sun more when i get home.
Also, its my friends lawn service that he started only because he could not find any other work so I also have him to it, just to help him out and give him a little promotion around my nieghborhood.

my husband does ours plus it's a little part of bussiness he is a busy man he works at a full time job plus has his own bussiness and still fixes things around the house he is jack of all trades and got them all mastered so he cuts ours when he can .

we cut our own lawn and lately it has been my husband who does it because I can never get the dang lawnmower to work. lol! I don't mind doing it but in the spring it feels like it grows so much. we also do my parents lawn and it is a pain to have to do both. raking leaves is worse though!

I've never used a lawn service and don't see myself starting now.

I just bought this house a month or so ago and have almost an acre of land. I planned on doing it myself with a push mower but my 'friend' said we really needed to get another lawn tractor.

Spent $400 on a refurbished lawn tractor that doesn't work worth a crap. Last weekend I did the whole thing with the push mower, by myself. I'd rather not rely on anyone else to do it on their schedule, I want it done on mine. Don't have the money to hire anyone anyway, so it's a moot point.

When mother was living, we used a lawn service for a while. You see, my mother, sisters, and I never did do yard work because we were protected. I always had a lot of allergies, anyway, and she told me that I wasn't expected to do anything like that. I wish now that daddy had taught me how to cut grass because I see how expensive it is to pay somebody to do it. I know a lot of women who say they love cutting their grass. However, I don't own my property any more but that's another story. My brother-in-law owns it now and he has hired a guy to come out and cut it every so often. Kathy.

i cut my on lawn.i don't have the money either to have some one else to do it i wish i did and i have known a few people that have their on lawn service and they make good money.They charge an arm and a leg to do your yard.

Call me cheap, but I would never pay $25 to have someone mow my lawn. I can't do it myself any more because of health, but my nephew does it cheap. If it wasn't for him, I'd have to find someone else in the family or do it a little at a time myself. It would never be completely done, though!

There are quite a few individuals doing lawns around here, and most of them drive big fancy trucks with low trailers and several lawn mowers. They have to be making pretty good money.

WE just cut of lawn ourselves with our own lawnmower. Its usually just takes us around a half hour to cut our lawn.
I do see lawn services cut other people's lawn. They use like 2 lawnmowers at the same time and use a leaf blower to clean up the trimmings from the sidewalk. They are really fast at it. It just takes them around 10 minutes to cut a lawn. I am amazed by how fast and efficient they are.

hello bookreader! well, my hubby takes care of all the lawn and outdoor things. lol we have a very large lawn, so he has a riding lawnmower that he has to use or else it would take him 2 years to mow it by hand! lol but we do have a lawn service come to fertilize our lawn, maybe once a month. i don't think we need it, but my husband says we do. what do i know? :)

I live in a condo so lawn service is done by an outside vendor paid for by ou condo fees. Fees also cover snow removal, sewer, water and trash as well a other landscaping and any outside repairs on the outside of the buildings and pool an clubhouse.
