    Out here by the lake!
    Sure is peacefull around here without yards crews working the neighborhood. Surely they feel they are essential & are going to out messing with peace & quiet! I was hoping on hiring a crew for a spring clean up, but the thistles & catchweed laughs @ that.

    And continuing with the good news - you just taught me the correct name for what I've been calling Velcro Weed. :flag:

    Since most places require lawn maintenance, wouldn't they be considered essential?
    Besides, they stay outside and don't interact with people, for the most part.

    My yard is so big, I have to mow it in installments with my big ass zero turn mower and my wife (bless her) doing the small places with a 22" deck Honda manual......then, oh yeah, the noisy blowers come out by us...don't like that?

    Move........

    If I don't want to spend the whole weekend at it we run two sometimes three mowers. A big zero turn, a 60" lawn tractor and a John Deere 318 with a belly mower. I make Mrs Whistler use the zero turn, hard to drink beer on that one.

    Mines about 2 acres with a million things to mow around and divided up into several areas. Takes forever. Glad I’ve got a 60” zero turn.

    I heard lawncare services were considered essential due to keeping the grass down in spring to keep mosquitos at bay. Since that's coming next.

    Upgrade to a commercial mower. I went from the heavy duty Hustler residential mower to the Scag commercial mower and now mow in about half the time I used to. And it has a full floating deck to act as a suspension. Between yard, roadsides, around the shop, etc., I probably mow a little over 4 acres each week.

    Mosquitoes are already out here in my part of East Texas. Had to break out the bug juice the other evening while I was trimming limbs.

    The last two days have been mowing intensive around here. Finally got a couple days of sunshine.
