Financial Accuracy

We are finally approaching the warmest season of the year.  Summer means more than swimming, lemonade, and tan skin.  It also means your lawn is growing and needs to be kept.  Depending on the temperature, humidity, time of year, etc., grass grows between 2-6 inches per week.  That is faster than you might think.  After a few weeks, if your lawn hasn’t been looked after and mowed, you might have a bit of a jungle on your hands.

Saturday morning is reserved time to go out and cut your lawn.  At any given time during a Saturday morning, you are very likely to go outside in your neighborhood and hear the not-so-soothing grumbling of gas or electric lawn mower.  When it is your turn to cut the grass, what is the cost?

Besides the cost of getting sleeping neighbors a little ticked off, the cost of mowing your lawn can add up over the summer.  The mower itself isn’t going to be cheap.  Anything with an engine rarely is.  But then there’s the cost of the gas or electricity.  If you have an electric mower, the cost will be less, but your sacrifice is the cord of the mower allowing you to only reach as much of your lawn as the cord can go.  Gas mowers are where you will be paying a lot more.  The cost of gas isn’t cheap.  We all know that.  So where is the solution?

Remember hearing all those stories of your grandparents back in the day and how they had to cut the lawn with a heavy, clunky, unsafe machine that ran on man-power?  Well the answer to becoming more eco-friendly and wallet-friendly is in a very similar story.  Luckily for your day and age, those mechanical mowers have come a LONG way and are much safer, lighter, and easier to maneuver.  Not to mention cheap!  Guess how much it costs to mow your lawn each time… $0.00.  That’s a good deal!  Plus, your neighbors will be way less grumpy since they can sleep in!
