	   |  Lawn Mowing Service?  
 
			
			My grass is long as hell, usually we hire a guy to come mow our lawn. But apparently he changed his phone number since last fall and we can't find him anymore......
 I live near Knight and 49th and my lawn is pretty standard sized, the previous guy charged us 25 bux for front and back.
 
 Anyone wanna suggest me someone who can mow my lawn?

			Push Reel mowers, 
 Pros:
 -cheap, no gas required.
 -good workout.
 -better for the environment
 
 Cons:
 -You need to mow more often, you can't let your grass get too tall or else it wont cut.
 -not a uniform cut, some areas may need a second pass over.
 
 For a small to medium sized lawn it's sufficient.

I mean besides looking like a hippy when I mow the lawn (I'm so anti hippy it's almost a comedy skit on its own)  it doesn't cut that well. It might be mine is just a piece of shit but I have to go over the lawn over and over from different directions to get it cut.  
I'd buy a gas mower but then I'll go from looking like a treehugger to looking like a retard because my lawn is so fucking small. My dad has a ride on mower he doesn't use I always thought it would be funny as hell to bring it to my place and mow my front lawn with it and have the neighbours giving me the WTF look.
