alright, move along now.

good for you, i start work tomorrow and the first thing i have been told to do is mow, trim, and fertalize the yards... i'm starting at 8am, taking a 1hr lunch and hoping to be done by 7pm.

last summer it took me and a buddy 6hrs to mow and trim, now it's just me :(

You might get it done in time. I've not timed myself... but I probably could. I've used that mowing configuration before ;)

Do any of you guys grow Zoysia or those wonder-type grasses?

It's like that stuff out of infomercials... Looks good, but doesn't always work (or work well - see Ginsu knives).

I just planted a 200 square foot or so patch of buffalo grass today, supposed to require very little mowing & be drough tolerant.

Have heard mixed reports about it, I'm curious about how it'll grow & look...

Yeah, we need to get a ride on....something. The 5 horse push mower isn't much fun...
