How early is too early to start mowing the lawn?

[heavy-set 39]

9am ? i dont care, at 9am i am starting

 

 

[Mike Honcho 5,250]

9AM's my starting time too...

[Old School 360]

9 is respectable time.

[shotsup 832]

By my county ordinances 7 AM is OK. If my neighbor mowed lawn on Sunday at 7AM I would strangle him

 

9 AM is ok.

9AM is definitely fair game. 7 gets you shot. 8 gets the sprinklers pointed at your yard while you are mowing.

Sanitation pickup starts at 7 AM and those trucks are loud as hell. All hell breaks loose after 7

[IGotWorms 4,057]

9:00 is fair. I'd say maybe even 8:30

To piggyback on the question: when is it too late to mow the lawn?

 

We had quite a little hot streak last summer so I was out there mowing the yard at dusk, about 8:00 PM. I bet some folks didn't like it but I reckon they understood the rationale

[jerryskids 6,704]

I wonder if there is an ordinance here. Given the gawd-awful heat I've heard some workers (roofers, lawn) start at 6AM. Usually on weekends it seems like 7AM is the earliest. Not sure if that is a rule or people just being somewhat polite to their neighbors.

 

We are a very early to bed/early to rise place though, because of the heat. 7AM here is kinda like 9AM on the east coast.

This is when I cut. I'll weed eed first and then mow. I know my lawn like I know my Johnson so I can cut it in the dark.

 

I mowed the wifey a lawn and painted the fence at 8:00.

Well I don't literally mow the lawn in the dark. Perhaps "sunset" would've been a better term than dusk

It's Fawking hot here so I do it then. And I don't feel guilty drinking beer doing it then as I would if I did it in the morning.

You should be using a push or an electric mower and then time of day would not be a problem. Don't any of you care about your carbon foot print? The government is about to suck hundreds of billions of dollars out of our economy to combat it so get with it!

[Drizzay 712]

If you use a non-motorized mower, you don't have to worry about noise.

 

HTH

I use scissors.

I'd say 9 is good.

Live in West Michigan...about as far as the Eastern Time Zone goes, in the summer it doesn't get dark some days until 9:00, 9:15, I'll mow until 8:45 some nights.

Wait, you feel guilty drinking at any time???

This is exactly what I do. You get a lot more exercise with old school push mowers.

[MTSkiBum 1,620]

I have a battery powered green works mower. It is pretty nice: quiet, light, cuts well, and the batteries hold a good charge.

 

I got a battery powered mower and weedeater for maintenance reasons. No oil to change or yearly maintenance. Push a button and go.

[shotsup 832]

I pay Guido. I don't care what time he takes care of it. He only hires Italians. Now that I think of it I already posted this. Too drilynk to to look or even care.

Ha ha! That's what I thought this thread was about.

I find time at any given point to drink. However....I do have obstacles. Those obstacles are standards based on conscious. I don't drink when working or when needed to do work. Or before sh!theads who have a problem with their neighbor cranking up the small engine and judging my behavior based on a timetable centered on their analisities about time and whatnot.

Level of consciousness is an excellent tool to determine when drinking is appropriate

I have a job and i have messicans that cut my grass. Not sure what time is too early for them. I am sure the law of lazy messican landscapers sleeping in trumps any city or county ordinances.

[montana 89]

9am seems pretty standard.

 

On extremely hot & humid days here in the Carolina's, 8am isn't uncommon....we're talkin 90+ in temp AND humidity %.

[NewbieJr 541]

7:00 am on weekdays

9:00 am on weekends

I refuse to mow in February

[joeshushu 51]

I have done yard work as early as 6:30 AM but my neighbors hate each other and not because of the early yard work.

[KSB2424 3,148]

8am during the week

9am on the weekends

[Cruzer 1,995]

7 a.m. is fine by me. If my neighbor wants to start that early too - great, rather have that than somebody who doesn't keep up their yard.

[GobbleDog 990]

9am on the weekends

Agreed. People are sleeping off benders on the weekend. Gotta start a little later.

 

I also try to finish by 6:00 pm. Nobody wants to hear that when sitting down for dinner. I only wish the hired landscapers in the neighborhood were as considerate.

[edjr 6,580]

1st on sight of pubes. Fock they annoy me /gfiafp

[RLLD 4,191]

I think the messicans charge extra to come earlier

Messcans enjoy their weekends as much as the 3rd Reich'ers - they'd rather start at first light if possible.
