At what time is it acceptable to start mowing your grass
- Thread starter TruBluCatFan
- Start date
I usually wait until 10 but have started at 9 before. I wont do it before that though.
Yes. I believe the city ordinance is 7 am but not all neighbors are good neighbors
I’ll mow my lawn whenever I feel like. Ordinances are for commies
This is the correct answer.
Once I was staying with my mom and told her that I dreamed that the neighbor was mowing the yard at 2:00 a.m.. She replied "that was no dream".
No earlier than 8am to respect the neighbors, but right at 8 is fine. If they have an issue, tell them you were ready to roll at 7am and can start then if they'd prefer.
Grass has to be dry, though, or you will dull the blades.

I had a neighbor, had to be at least 10 years ago. Lived in a house behind me (not directly, but adjacent to), and I'd be hanging out on my back patio, his mower would be going, then stop, and I'd hear all of this cursing, then the mower would start up, and the cycle would repeat, and I mean for hours.
I thought the guy just had a crappy mower, and I saw his wife out walking one evening, and I asked her about it and said that I have a spare mower they could have.
She acted uncomfortable but then said it wasn't the mower, it was because her husband has Tourette's

That is eerily close to what I would hear. LOL
I wait for the city to do it. It takes them months to get around to it and then they charge me 300 dollars. Twice a year at that rate is cheaper than a lawn service.
I had a lady come once a year to clean my apartment
I had a neighbor who thought it was cool to mow at 8am even though I worked 3rd shift and had usually just gone to bed..... which is cool. I asked him to not do it on a couple particular days due to work and school schedule and asked if he minded... he did and just kept on mowing. ... Totally his right. So I started blaring my stereo as loud as it would go when I got home at 5am... and he was angry. It was weird how his opinion changed depending on if affected him or not. Weird.

So it depends on how well you game planned the night before.

I usually do it around 10 AM or so when the grass dries. In the middle of BFE, there are no ordinances to worry about.
7:00 a.m. M-F
6:30 a.m. S-S
*or whenever it is light enough to start
*bonus for firing up the weedeater and blower earlier if your neighbor has been building **** in their garage until 11:00 p.m.

If you're in a suburban area: 9 am if you're using a gas mower and 8 am if you're using electric.
Anything earlier and f*** you.

I usually like to wait until the grass is dry, so about 10 or 11. But, I hate to be hot and if it’s going to be a scorcher that day, I might start at 8 a.m. If I start at 8, I’m done by 9:30.
Weekdays, I mow after work in the evenings.
I should note I don’t have a large yard and use a battery powered push mower. My mower isn’t nearly as loud as my neighbors’ gas engine mowers, especially the guy to my right. His mower has to be at least 35 years old and sounds like a motorcycle. Lol.

Sorry, bubs....you'll just have to deal with it. Afraid your beauty sleep will be interrupted w/ your new gadget?
It isn't like you have time to mow anyway. You apparently spend your every waking hour stalking twitter to nonsensically gripe about Elly De La Cruz or otherwise make your way places that clearly do not want you.
Or maybe, just maybe…some people legitimately and literally (yes, the actual meaning of the word) don’t have the actual time to mow due to all of the activities and extracurriculars their family is involved in.
Go ahead thinking you’re a “real man” and bad *** because you mow your own grass. You and your views on life always being so black and white and absolute are ridiculous. You don’t know **** about anyone else’s individual situation yet constantly cast judgment around these boards.
