    I do it myself. Even made sure when I bought a new mower this year I didn't get self-propelled. It sucks going up hill when it's really hot, but it's more exercise and it gets me out of having to do chores inside the house. :-)

    58-year-old female and I cut my own grass, edge, trim bushes and pull weeds. It is great exercise, gets me outdoors and playing in the dirt helps my mood.

    I bought a electric mower this spring (I have a small yard) and I LOVE it! Keeps a charge for a long time and I don't have to worry about gas or oil. Usually I'm the grim reaper of mowers so I hope I can keep this one for a few years.

    Was that a birthday present from your husband?

    No, I bought it myself. He did help me load it into the car though. True love, baby!

    I own a trailer in a nice little trailer park, my lawn is tiiiiiiny, so I mow it myself. My parents however, has a big *kitten* back yard, and pay a family friend who they know could use the extra income.

    I'm really looking forward to mowing my own lawn this year. It's a nice trade off from shoveling snow. I love mowing, except for the small hills I have. And I really don't have much of a system down; as long as the grass gets cut who cares how I do it? :) I love doing my neighbor's too except his is even hillier than mine. But I do what I can without tipping the mower over.
    Com'on spring and sunshine!!!!

    Haha, nice. Don't mind if I hire you? :D Usually, my husband does all the lawn care jobs, but now he's on a business trip and hiring lawn care companies in my town would cost me a small fortune. Anyway, we have a trimmer as was mentioned in one of these fancy tool reviews. We can borrow it for sure B)
