Grass, mow your own or pay someone?

I don't have a mower and have no desire to mow either. I have 2 acres. I can't decide which to do, suck it up and buy a mower or just pay someone?

How about you? Do you mow yourself, or pay?

What are the advantages of your choice? Time, expense, gas, etc..

Taking care of my yard is something I truly enjoy. I mow, weedeat, and anything else that needs to be done. This afternoon I will be aerating it and overseeding.

If you have two acres to mow, I would suggest at least a 50" zero turn mower with at least a 22 hp motor.

do it myself, i have a small yard and a self propelled walk behind so I have more room for bikes in the garage

Yea, those were the days. :-) Now, even the neighborhood kids think it's below them to mow for some extra cash. Dumb kids.

We have about 2 acres and I mow it. I generally mow with the riding mower and Erik push mows the bank out front and weed eats. I have to push mow inside the fenced area near the pool.

I would come mow for you if I lived closer, but I doubt you could make it worth my while to come down there now.
