I pay a guy $40 to mow and weedwack my yard. It's worth every penny, since it takes about 2 hours for me to do it with my mower. You should consider paying someone else do it until your son is old enough to do it.

I usually take my shirt off and mow the lawn, the ladies in the neighborhood really enjoy it and I'd hate to rob them of the little satisfaction in life they have.

2 posts and still no reccomendation on a mower!

If I did that I'd get arrested! There's a man mowing his lawn with his man boobs hanging out and he's balancing a six pick of beer on his gut!

Thats approx. $1100 for the season? How much gear is that?

Not even close to that. I've paid a total of $360 so far this year. He only comes when the lawn needs it as opposed to every week. He lives on my street (right around the corner from you), so he drives by the house every day. If it looks like it needs to be mowed, he comes by the next morning.

It's worth it to me because I'd rather have that 2+ hours to either be playing with my son or be out fishing. I spend enough doing other stuff around the yard on the weekends.
