One of the costs of being badly disabled is never having to mow the yard, both good and bad: no mower cost, but $25/month for a landscaper. Too small a yard for a ride on.... Maybe when I finally agree to a scooter, I can pull one behind me.... screw that, $25 is a bargain....

3 mowers - A riding mower and an electric push. I also have a gas push that I don't use because it's too heavy for me to use on the sloping areas.

No lawn, no lawnmower. But a xeriscaped property requires plenty of maintenance.

I have a Toro Personal Pace for the smaller areas, and going around the dozens of trees....then, I get out the Husqvarna 24HP/48" riding mower to get the rest of the yard. Then, to keep the weeds down around the main yard, and our walking trails through the woods open, I have a 60" Brush Hog that I attach to my Kubota B2910 tractor. I also have 3 weed eaters...2 Stihl units, and a big Poulan that I keep a saw blade mounted on to cut down smaller trees. I love to play outdoors with all my "toys".

LOL, Seabreeze, you did not have my answer...my lawn mower is my neighbor across the street. SO I voted for I do not own one.
I've been mowing with a gas mower on my 3/4 acre of land for some time. When it bites the dust, I'm thinking of getting an electric one because I feel not having to deal with oil and gas would be an improvement.. but since I'm not there yet, I really don't know.

The tiny strip of grass around our house gets mowed every Monday morning by the management association. Otherwise, I could probably do it with a pair of nail clippers.

I have a 16" battery-powered electric mower with a Lithium Ion battery, very light weight. I also have a battery-powered trimmer. I'm trying to divorce gasoline as much as possible.
What type did you get? I just recently learned that there are rechargeable mowers now; both push and riding. My next one will be rechargeable.

What kind of lawn mower do I have?
To be honest, my wife prefers to do all the mowing, trimming, etc.
Technically speaking, grass does not grow in the rocky, sandy soil of the High Desert, so sod has to be imported in sections for those who "must have" a lawn.
Here's a shot of our grassless front yard:

We had a small yard when we lived in Tombstone, Arizona (desert country). I wanted a touch of green but did not want a lawn to care for in the summer heat. I found a type of low-growing fine-lobed succulent and planted a 4' X 6' "lawn" by the front door. It never required mowing, just water it occasionally, and looked great. Also found a thornless cactus and planted those in our rock garden.

Lawn service comes each Tuesday and spends the day on the property. I did all the lawn work for years when I was married and raising kids. Nice to let it happen without me.

In Desert country, a "Touch of Green" looks out of place.
When you live in the Desert, then let it look like the Desert!
We had a front lawn, but I killed it and replaced it with 26 tons of California Gold landscaping gravel.
I was about 73 or 74 when I did this work.

I'm glad you call it "Lawn Service", Terry! Some people say "Oh, we have a Gardener that takes care of that!"
B.S.!
A true Gardener LIVES on the property in a small house, and does real Gardening, not just "lawn service". He maintains the Greenhouse and takes care of transplanting, fertilizing, grafting, tree service and a lot more!
