For me it's partly because I don't want to pay someone to do it and also I enjoy the exercise. When my wife and I did all that traveling last year we hired the service that did the house next door and it was $35 per week for basic mowing, edging and blowing. They did bag the clippings which most don't do.
I think I get it from my dad. He was still mowing his big lawn until his late 80's. When he was 86 or so he had taken a break to get some water and left the mower near the end of the driveway. Someone came by and stole it so he had to go out and buy another one... at 86! He got a nice Honda model and I ended up keeping it and that's what I use each week. |
