Having the right equipment makes a difference. I used to push mow my lawn, took 3 hours(it’s basically all hillside) then went to a cub cadet 1000, then it took 2 hours Bc the steering was messed up, found out the frame split, haha. So then bought a big dog alpha mp 54” deck zero turn. Mows the lawn in 45 minutes. What a difference

Small yard like that with that tall grass I start by doing a few passes around the perimeter and then I'll go straight down the center on high and make 3 passes wide down the center on high then drop deck down and cut it low and smooth on those 3 passes. Then mow the rest of the lawn on high then finish mow it on low and blow all the clippings into those 3 center rows and then use a tarp and a rake and rake it up. Only takes a few minutes to rake it onto a tarp for a lawn of that size. Drag it out into the woods or load on the truck

I usually get out one of my bigger weedeaters and go with a single line on the spool and drop that grass down to about 3 inches and let it bake in the sun for a few days and then come back and mow it and let it shoot out the side to chop it up a little finer and then bag it. Most everyone that lets their grass get that tall will be happy with just cutting it down and call back in a few weeks and just get it mowed without bagging it. I come back with a big mower and let it shoot out the side if it's still too much to mulch and tell them to get on track or find someone else to abuse.

Take the hedge clippers or pole clippers to help on your back. Cut it down a little below half. Then cut it. Or push some of it up and cut. Either or. But it will be a lot easier to hack that crap down to size first so the mower is actually cutting something and not just folding it over.

Chris Rowlison our minimum for any type of yards tagged by the City is $250. The City charges twice that and any applicable fees. Once tagged by the city they have 10 days to get it done otherwise it’s contracted out and will cost the homeowner a more significant amount of money. We don’t usually bag on these yards, but do offer it, simply because 9 times out of 10, the customer doesn’t want to pay that amount. In mine and the customer’s opinion it was cut and they weren’t fined. We did get the homeowner as a regular customer so the yard should get much better in due time. Thanks for the comment!!!

My neighbor let his rear yard get away from him to a height of 18". It adjoined my extra lot, so I knocked, wife answered, and I offered to mow it for free just to get it down to where he could keep up with it the rest of the summer himself. So I took my very old Craftsman lawn tractor, a 44" three-blade, 14 horse Kohler, mech trans beastie, and knocked it down in about three passes. The wife was amazed - she had been out herself with a 22" self-propelled push mower and could not even take a partial swipe without stalling. She actually gave me twenty bucks, but I was willing to do it for free that once as a good neighbor, and to keep the field rats and snakes away. Funny thing, four years later I bought an Ikon zero turn 42" for three grand and although mowing time for my 1.4 acres has been greatly reduced due to maneuverability, the actual cut quality was better with the Craftsman, which was so old I had rebuilt the steering gear twice already.
