Proper time to mow lawn on Sunday morning? (1 Viewer)

[flranger]

2 hours after sunrise, 1 hour after sunset

 

[ChiefD]

After 9:00 AM.

Note for my neighbor.

If the NFL plays this fall please be finished with the lawn before games start.  

We watch a lot of games outside or in the garage and I’ll be damned if the neighbor fires up the mower right at kick-off or first pitch. 

The thing is he mows so rarely I usually go out there and clutch my heart as if I’m having a heart attack because he actually mowed the damn thing.

Mowers, trimmers, chainsaws... these rarely wake me up. Fire them up whenever, regardless of day It's your property. Saws are the loudest and anyone that's ever owned a chainsaw knows it's the most awesome sound in the homeowner's arsenal. I am certain I could fall asleep to one. Might even see if Alexa can make that happen tonight.

My kids mow it after 10:00.

I sit out front shirtless with a cold beer and watch.

Shirtless? Have you no respect for your canadian neighbors???

Anytime after 8am is the right answer btw.

Suburban community, lots between .25 and .5 an acre. What time is socially acceptable to fire up the lawn mower?

Before 9 is obnoxious. After 10 is safe. In between is debatable.

Yeah I like the drone of a mower, doesn't bother me. It's the morning ravens that drive me nuts

 

[Osaurus]

11 am for me, but it’s mostly to ensure the grass is dry when I cut it. 

 

[fruity pebbles]

I say 10 but my neighbor seems to think that 6 is okay.

Douchbag.

My neighbor cuts the grass at 6 am and I’m out there that night at midnight. 

 

[fruity pebbles]

M-F I think 8 is ok. The weekend 9 imo. Anything earlier is selfish so I expect it to happen with regularity in most places.

True story - Neighbor once mowed at 7am.  That night, my dog barked until around 11pm.  Our conversation the next day was short and to the point.

Are there more people in the neighborhood than just you 2? If so, seems like a quick and pointed conversation about mowing that early would cause the rest of the neighborhood less of a headache than letting dag bark until 11

Trimmers and mowers don't bother me. Chainsaws can be obnoxiously loud but I can tolerate it because it only happens once or twice a year.

Guys firing up their Harleys early in the morning bother me more than any lawnmower could.

 

[belljr]

Lol. It takes 20-30 minutes to mow a .25 acre.

Heat isn't an issue

 

[eoMMan]

9 is good for the weekend, especially in the summer. It's reasonable for people to get yard work done when it's a little cooler.

 

[Galileo]

I wait until after 10 am.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I wait until after 10 am.

  good neighbor

 

[DallasDMac]

Supposed to be 107(!) here tomorrow. I won't ##### about anyone mowing 1 minute after sunrise.

 

[Judge Smails]

9am. Anything earlier is not civilized 

 

[matuski]

My neighbors and I have a between 9 and 9 rule.

 

[glvsav37]

Own an Ego battery powered lawn mower, I can mow my lawn at 3 am and no one would know. 

 

[eoMMan]

Fireworks were going off last night (Sunday) after 10 PM.

I'm tempted to go mow my lawn at 6:30 AM.

 

[Gianni Verscotchie]

4:30am. Just make sure your mower has a headlight.

 

[Da Guru]

I like to get my lawn done on Fridays if possible and not cut my lawn on Sundays.  If I have to cut it on Sunday I would wait until at least 11am.

 

[KarmaPolice]

NOT 6:30  like my ####### neighbor. 

 

[Cjw_55106]

I'd say 9. 

 

[madshot31]

Weekdays: 7AM - Sound ordinances are 7AM-7PM. Live your life, you don't have to abide by others schedule if it messes up yours.  8AM is pretty common around here but tons of residential construction starts at 7AM.

Weekend: 8AM - Also from late June through October your going to be drenched in sweat if your wait past 10AM here in California.

9:00am - I roll out the lawn mower
9:01am - My shirt comes off
9:02am - I rev up the mower
9:03am - My pants come off

 

[Bluesbomber]

9 am during week and Saturday, 10 am Sunday. 11 if not football season. That is what I am comfortable with.

 

[Lehigh98]

It's been getting hot out pretty early in PA.  My next door neighbors both have pools and haven't invited us over, so 6-7AM for me.

 

[Lehigh98]

9:00am - I roll out the lawn mower
9:01am - My shirt comes off
9:02am - I rev up the mower
9:03am - My pants come off

You might be standing too close to the mower, or try pants that aren't so baggy.
