Got the Joy of Mowing?

I love to mow the lawn!

— Debbie A.

I’ve mowed since 1962! I’ve used a power, push mower, riding mower, Super A tractor, and now a zero-turn mower.

— Rachel W.

 I love mowing the lawn! There’s a sort of Zen quality about it. Then, I grab a cold Yuengling and sit on the deck to relax and enjoy a job well done.

— Deb O.

Hi Joy of Mowing.  I enjoy the site so much…makes my day so pleasant!

— Roger M.

Yep, mowing is one of my true joys, nobody bothers me, the phone doesn’t ring and when I’m done I can look and see what I’ve accomplished.

— Tim C.

Been mowing 50 years and it’s one of my favorite things to do.

— Brian H.

It’s great therapy and great exercise and when you get done you can just sit back and admire all your hard work, plus getting to soak up some sunshine… all of this is good for the soul.

— Nancy S.

I solve all the world’s problems while mowing. Of course, it takes 3 1/2 hours, so one’s brain needs to do something right?

— Greg B.

I’ve been mowing lawns since I was 10 years old, now I’m 71 and still enjoy.

— Darrell D.

I use a push mower, it cuts my grass better and takes longer so I can have peace away from my stressful job.

— Stephen P.

…love mowing my lawn…and yes I use a walk-behind…very peaceful…

— Jack H.

Who else has to grab a cold drink and admire their work when they are done?

— Josh W.

How early is too early to mow?

Most lawns are better cut after the grass has had time to dry and the neighborhood has had time to wake up.

Very early mowing can mean wet grass, more clumping, a rougher cut, and extra cleanup. It can also be less than ideal for nearby neighbors enjoying a quiet start to the day.

In many situations, waiting until mid-morning is the smarter move.

What do you think is the earliest acceptable mowing time?
A) 7:00 AM
B) 8:00 AM
C) 9:00 AM
D) Depends on your mower and how close the neighbors are

What old mower brand do you still remember?

Some mower brands were more than machines. They were part of growing up, summer Saturdays, and learning how to care for a yard.

Maybe it was the one your dad used.
Maybe it was the first mower you ever pushed.
Maybe it’s still in the shed today.

We put together a collection of classic mower brands and the stories behind them for anyone who appreciates mowing history.

Take a trip down memory lane:

I worked for county park in Michigan. In the seventies we had Yazoo mowers. I still work there after being 55 years under my belt and now we have Toro grounds master four-wheel-drive $30,000 apiece 

Mine is a John Deere sickle bar mower. Originally horse drawn, rare rubber tire model, converted to be drawn by a 1942 Army surplus weapons carrier, used to mow our front yard.

For many of us, mowing the lawn was one of the first real responsibilities we were trusted to handle. A little freedom, a little pride, and maybe a few crooked lines along the way.

That first mow also taught lessons that still matter today, from cutting height and sharp blades to patience and doing the job right.

Take a walk back to where it started and pick up a few timeless lawn care tips along the way.

Friday feels a little different when you love mowing.

Some people are thinking about relaxing.
Some are thinking about dinner plans.

And some are already picturing that first clean pass across the lawn tomorrow morning.

Nothing wrong with starting the weekend right.

Did a first mow today. Was starting to look a little scruffy. It’s horribly dry and dusty here. Looked like pigpen cutting the lawn. I was covered in dust/dirt when I got done. It’s August dry here. Hoping for substantial amount of rain soon.

You step outside.
The mower fires up.
The smell of fresh-cut grass hits the air.
And somehow the whole day feels better.

For a lot of us, mowing is more than yard work. It’s a reset button.

Does mowing put you in a better mood?
A) Every time
B) Usually does
C) Only when the lawn looks great after
D) Nope, just a chore
