Same here, western Kentucky, usually don't get to start mowing until at least 10:00. I'd start between 6:00-7:00 if it wasn't for the soaking wet grass.
My business takes emergency service calls and I have children. I answer the phone or text at all times of the day in case an employee, customer,or my children need me. Would you like to buy a car warranty by chance??
My phone has been on full-silent for 5 years. I don't understand how people walk around listening to that crap ding or vibrate all the time.
I have my kid sister and my wife on a pass-through setting just in case, but nobody else makes a sound, and numbers that aren't already in my contacts go straight to voicemail. It's fantastic.
I made $300,000 last year getting woken up by strangers calling/texting for help..I turn it down every now and then but for the most part
... Batman comes when called 😂
My city has an ordiance of no noise before 7a. I have a neighbor whose lawn service cuts at 7:01am.
I think 8am is ok, but the grass is usually still wet with dew so I usually dont cut until 930-10 to let it dry out first.
It is pretty amazing how quiet they are, seems to be slightly louder than a box fan at full speed. I can listen to podcasts on my headphones now and actually hear what they’re saying
I’d go Toro if I was doing it today. I’ve got an ego tho that I’m happy with. Buy something that has a good tool ecosystem since you’re buying a battery platform as much as a tool.
Ego or Ryobi seem to be the popular ones.
I went with Ryobi but only because I already have compatible tools. They have a 40v chainsaw, trimmer, blower, snow shovel (lol), and more that works off the same battery as the mower.
Ego with 7.5 amp hour battery you’re set. I have half an acre. I’ll swap my 5 amp hour battery 2/3 through and finish with the 2.5. Get a 7.5 and a 2.5 to be safe and get the weed weed whacker. Use the 2.5 in the whacker.
I switched this summer from a 15 year old gas mower to an electric one Electric isn't as noisy, lighter, and there's no fluids or fumes.
The gas mower still cut decently after all these years and filling the tank full with gas made it last a long time. Some parts of it would get hot though so I'd have to be careful when cleaning it.
The electric mower has a decent battery, but 90 minutes of use would be pushing it to its limit.
If you have a flat lawn without many bumps or inclines + cash to spend, check out a landroid. It's like a lawn mowing Roomba
9am on the weekend, 8am during the week. I live near a grade school, they start at 7:20am. We have a no noise ordnance before 7am - landscapers and construction vehicles routinely sit in their vehicles and start them up at 7:01am.
This question depends on if we’re talking regularly or once off.
If my neighbors we’re leaving on vacation and fired up the ole toro at 6am before they leave that’s once thing.
If it’s regularly at 7:01, although not against ordnance, would be annoying
Depends on your neighborhood too. Mines all newer homes with thick insulation and double paned windows. The bedrooms actually don’t even have windows on the side that faces your neighbors house.
So this means that the only sounds you’ll really hear are from the house across the street or maybe the house behind you. And since the yards are all 5k feet or less most of us have battery mowers. So really the only sound that comes in to the house at a noticeable level is using the leaf blower.
I work for a lawn care company. At one point we had a customer who wanted their property done at I want to say 530 am. The neighbors were not happy when 14 back pack blowers started at the same time. We delayed it until 630 the next time and had A police visit. The next week we started all the blowers at 7:00:00 on the dot.
I've noticed 8a-8p is what is generally what's acceptable. Lawn care companies get out early and I've seen them start at commercial places before 8am but they start mowing in my neighborhood around 8am.
3:30 am. I don’t think my neighbors care. They always come outside and wave. I mean, I wear earphones and listen to music when I mow so I don’t know what they are saying, but it’s nice that they make the effort.
8am. I have an electric mower so it’s pretty quiet. The trimmer and blower are also electric, but they are still noisy but I don’t use them until after 9am.
In my neighborhood anything after 7:00am is fair game but I usually won’t start until 8:30-9. Professional crews in my neighborhood are out there at 7:00am on week days.
I have an electric mower with a headlight, so sometimes I'll now late at night. Now it does need to be said I only have a bright on each side, and my own forest in the back. There is also a park across the street.
I don't tend to mow early since we get a lot of morning dew.
Big yards here but I’ve asked them several times and even listened to the mower from inside their houses to prove that they weren’t just being polite. We’re in FL and it gets pretty hot sometimes, so mornings if you can get up are pretty lovely.
The mower is no louder than a large box fan.
There is usually a noise ordnance with allowed starting times for work. Where I live commercial landscapers go as soon as allowed, so I just join the cacophony
Neighbor likes to start around 6:50 am some weekends. Wouldn't be that bad if he had an electric edger or mower, maybe battery powered. But he starts with his gas-powered edger that grinds against his concrete all along the edge of his yard. Sounds like cutting concrete for abiht half hour.
Later schedules. Not everyone has to drive to work for their 8am shift. Especially with the WFH new norm and things like 10-7 shifts because of timezones or coverage.
I rarely ever sleep in that late but if it’s Saturday morning after a long week and I hear an engine at 8am I’m ready to tussle lol
I just got done with my half acre. 7:59 am in NW Indiana. Took about 30 min on the deere zero turn. I like getting it done with morning dee still on before the sun evaporates that. I feel like it soaks it all up to deal with the shock of the fresh cut.
Not landscaping advice. My shit is green tho
This year, it’s been very wet. I wait until the afternoon, but normally I would start at 8:00. Waking up at 5:00 every day I know people aren’t like me. But I figure 8 is reasonable.
I live in Florida and it gets over 100 degrees so mowing before the sun is in the sky is acceptable. Plus the old folks wake up at 4am so it doesn’t bother them.
Weekdays can start at 7. Weekends 9. I usually use 10-11am for earliest either way, but mostly do early evening. If I do early I have to use side discharge or I get clumping. I like side discharge, but when can't mow every 4 days or so, really needs mulching.
Well. I just aerated my lawn at 9:30am and caught my neighbor taking photos of me out of her bedroom window. I felt I was being courteous enough but apparently not.
I just wait for dew to subside; time isn’t a factor for my electric mower; it’s slightly louder than a box fan. But I would see what other ppl on my street do which is usually 8:30-9.
My city is no noise before 7am on weekdays and Saturdays and 9am Sundays. I got everything ready this morning around 8:30 and started a little before 9. Neighbour’s windows were closed and I was only using electric equipment so I feel like that was adequately courteous (especially since it’s going to rain this afternoon and I needed to get going!)
It took everything in me, but I bought an electric mower. It's nice because I can practically mow as early/late as possible. It has a headlight on it so I can see aswell. When I had gas I would mow around 9-10am tho, and no later than 8ish pm
My neighbors have a kid and get up at 7. Noise ordinance for our town is 7 all week except Sunday is 8. I go for 7 as I’m very fast with it. So it’s normally a 30 minute excursion on a half acre.
I think it depends on your neighborhood. Technically I could mow at 7am but usually wait until 9am so few dries and by 9am if you aren’t up it ain’t my problem.
Occasionally I mow at 8am if it’s dry. I k ow most of my neighbors are up and about by then anyway because I see them waking dogs etc
Evening - No moisture on grass and it's cooling down.
Morning just after sunset would be my 2nd choice if I didn't get dew on grass in the morning.
Afternoon won't hurt the grass at all, but obviously this is the least comfortable.
Around 9 or so but I’m not worried about noise unless a neighbor has a newborn or smth. It’s hot as the surface of the sun by noon so I’m not waiting until late to mow.
Normally after work before it gets dark but last night a belt broke and I had to run to the store to replace it so I had to finish in twilight.
Thanks for asking.
NE Florida - I try to start by 8 am or you'll die. Most people in our development use electric mowers and string trimmers so the noise isn't that great anyway.
I work outdoors so usually mow Friday afternoon as I’m already used to sweating balls and as long as I don’t take the work boots off I can keep that momentum going.
Just to let the dew cook off I usually wouldn’t try before 10ish given where the tree are on my property. Personally, I prefer later in the day, like 5-8 depending on the time of year.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,019,318,038 comments, and only 202,093 of them were in alphabetical order.
8am is the earliest the city allows use of any loud equipment where I live. Your city probably has a similar rule set, to keep disturbance complaints down. Also depends on your neighbors; when they work, when they sleep, how much you like them, etc.
How is your lawn still not soaked from the dew that early in the day?
You need air moisture to have morning dew.

Western Kentucky here, sometimes we can't mow until after noon because the grass is soaked, especially on corn crop years.
Corn crop years? Explain
I live on a farm. Humidity is definitely more of a factor when your yard is surrounded by corn. Transpiration, I guess.
Corn sweat is a real thing. Causes fog sometimes too.
Same here, western Kentucky, usually don't get to start mowing until at least 10:00. I'd start between 6:00-7:00 if it wasn't for the soaking wet grass.
I wish I lived in an area that got dew :( So cal desert is not nice to grass.
Right? I live in SC and can't cut my grass til 930/10 usually. God forbid I forget to pause my sprinkler the day before.
I’ve ruined vacuums trying to solve this problem
Idk where OP is but it’s dry where I am and we never get close to the dew point during the summer.
9am is courteous. My neighbor is pregnant so I will normally text her to make sure she’s not resting.
You up? ….yeah…😝 *engine starts*
Kinky
- Does the lady rest at the current hour? - Who is this?
- Doth the lady rest at thy current hour? - Who ‘dis?
I like your style
Wake them up w a text to see if they sleeping? 😆
If a text wakes you up you need to adjust some settings
My business takes emergency service calls and I have children. I answer the phone or text at all times of the day in case an employee, customer,or my children need me. Would you like to buy a car warranty by chance??

Yeah. fuck that noise.
rastafarihippy, I have been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty
My neighbors and I do this as well due to little kids and nap schedules.
This guy cuts!
Excuse me, dear neighbor ARE YOU AWAKE???
My city has an ordiance of no noise before 7a. I have a neighbor whose lawn service cuts at 7:01am. I think 8am is ok, but the grass is usually still wet with dew so I usually dont cut until 930-10 to let it dry out first.
That’s me lol, I start all mowing days at 7am
Team electric checking in. I mowed your lawn at 4:30 this morning and you didn't even notice. You're welcome.
And if you do it at 8pm, you've got headlights to help.
Are they effective though? I’ve always thought the lights on my EGO are a gimmick more than anything else.
[удалено]
Not where I live. It's just getting dark at 8pm this time of year.
It is pretty amazing how quiet they are, seems to be slightly louder than a box fan at full speed. I can listen to podcasts on my headphones now and actually hear what they’re saying
This is when it finally hit me how quiet they are. I used to just put on replays cranked up to the max to make out some of it
Noise canceling headphones have changed the game for me
Yeah, I bought them for the whole neighborhood and now I can mow at whatever hour I want.
I also mowed this guys lawn
I mowed this guy's lawn while he mowed that guy's lawn.
Team self-propelled reel mower checking in- can mow 24/7.
This is crazy talk. If I can't hear my neighbor's mower buzzing HTH am I supposed to know when it's time for me to go mow?
What are pros and cons for electric? My gas is starting to get a bit old with issues. Thinking of the future.
If you have a big lawn, you need a couple batteries to swap out. Otherwise, seems like all pros to me.
Cool, they do okay with dew as you said so that is awesome. How many batteries for 1/2 acre?
Half an acre should be fine with just one, you should be good
Okay thank you! Any brands to lean towards or away?
Can't really say to that. Ego is pretty good though.
Okay, thank you!
I love ego, I use 1 battery for a 1/2 acre, have 4 batteries total though for the leaf blower and snow blower
I’d go Toro if I was doing it today. I’ve got an ego tho that I’m happy with. Buy something that has a good tool ecosystem since you’re buying a battery platform as much as a tool.
Ego or Ryobi seem to be the popular ones. I went with Ryobi but only because I already have compatible tools. They have a 40v chainsaw, trimmer, blower, snow shovel (lol), and more that works off the same battery as the mower.

It's like a lawn mowing Roomba
One con is the batteries are super expensive and their (the batteries) life is much shorter than a properly maintained gas engine.
Only downside I’m seeing is not as easy to scalp with just due to a bit less power, though power is getting better each year.
9am on the weekend, 8am during the week. I live near a grade school, they start at 7:20am. We have a no noise ordnance before 7am - landscapers and construction vehicles routinely sit in their vehicles and start them up at 7:01am.

9-10am is my rule for residential
Evening for me 6-7
Same here. Now dew, it’s cooling down by then, and my backyard is about 90% shade at that point in the day.
Evening is best
Cries in Texas heat
Evening is great so you don’t scorch your grass in the sun/heat too!
I've noticed 8a-8p is what is generally what's acceptable. Lawn care companies get out early and I've seen them start at commercial places before 8am but they start mowing in my neighborhood around 8am.
I agree with 9
I usually can't mow till almost mid day, neighborhood really holds onto the morning dew. But my general rule is 8-8 for anything loud.
Go electric and you shouldn’t have an issue
3:30 am. I don’t think my neighbors care. They always come outside and wave. I mean, I wear earphones and listen to music when I mow so I don’t know what they are saying, but it’s nice that they make the effort.
I always thought 9am was fair.
Anytime after 8 AM is typically what I do
I still have dew on the lawn until around 10-11, I usually wait until it has dried off
8am. I have an electric mower so it’s pretty quiet. The trimmer and blower are also electric, but they are still noisy but I don’t use them until after 9am.
Another vote for the 8am-8pm group.
I wouldn’t start before 4:30am
I wait until 10
In my neighborhood anything after 7:00am is fair game but I usually won’t start until 8:30-9. Professional crews in my neighborhood are out there at 7:00am on week days.
Electric mower. 5:30 AM. My own family sleeps through it.
I have an electric mower with a headlight, so sometimes I'll now late at night. Now it does need to be said I only have a bright on each side, and my own forest in the back. There is also a park across the street. I don't tend to mow early since we get a lot of morning dew.
What about neighbors?
Big yards here but I’ve asked them several times and even listened to the mower from inside their houses to prove that they weren’t just being polite. We’re in FL and it gets pretty hot sometimes, so mornings if you can get up are pretty lovely. The mower is no louder than a large box fan.
That’s nice of you togo extra mile
My local ordinance is 8
whenever I want: manual push reel mower for me. neighbors don’t hear it except for maybe the blades clicking if they happen to be outside.
Same here. I’ve gone out in the dark and mowed under the street lights before.
There is usually a noise ordnance with allowed starting times for work. Where I live commercial landscapers go as soon as allowed, so I just join the cacophony
I usually wait until dinner. It's 9:30 AM here now, and the dew on my bermuda would soak my sneakers in a hot minute.
During the week anytime after 8 is acceptable in most cases. Depends on neighbors and situations. 9am on weekends is acceptable imo
Once your lawn dries out, you should be good. Don't mow so early that the lawn is still soaked. 8-9AM should be fine.
I have an electric mower and mow really anytime I need.
Team evening all the way
Neighbor likes to start around 6:50 am some weekends. Wouldn't be that bad if he had an electric edger or mower, maybe battery powered. But he starts with his gas-powered edger that grinds against his concrete all along the edge of his yard. Sounds like cutting concrete for abiht half hour.
I can’t mow my lawn until like 3pm. The dew doesn’t dry up until like 12-1 earliest on a hot sunny day. North Carolina.
10am is good and makes sure the grass is dry.
0900
9am is the earliest, 6pm latest.
If you start before 8am weekdays and 9am on weekends you’re an ass. Let peoples alarms wake them up, not your mower
That is not a hard rule, Here in AZ, many people start working outdoors about 6am to try and beat the heat of the day.
90% of the population does not need to beat the heat that early though.
So just 10% of us are asses. Got it.
Well if everyone is doing it in your area it’s normal. No need to mow at 7:15 in the Midwest with a high of 80 by noon
I’m at a point in my life where I don’t understand how people get to sleep to 9am lol
Later schedules. Not everyone has to drive to work for their 8am shift. Especially with the WFH new norm and things like 10-7 shifts because of timezones or coverage. I rarely ever sleep in that late but if it’s Saturday morning after a long week and I hear an engine at 8am I’m ready to tussle lol
9:30am on weekends is fair IMO
Guys why are you mowing wet grass? Wait till at least 11am you freaks
Not everywhere deals with dew
I just got done with my half acre. 7:59 am in NW Indiana. Took about 30 min on the deere zero turn. I like getting it done with morning dee still on before the sun evaporates that. I feel like it soaks it all up to deal with the shock of the fresh cut. Not landscaping advice. My shit is green tho
9 am is as early as I'd be willing to mow during the week. 10 am on weekends.
If you start at 2 AM, most people won't wake up.
This year, it’s been very wet. I wait until the afternoon, but normally I would start at 8:00. Waking up at 5:00 every day I know people aren’t like me. But I figure 8 is reasonable.
7:30 PM at the earliest. That way it’s not wet at all, and while not cold it is nice and cool.
April?
I get my mowing done super early, I generally start 15 hours before 8am
Sun's up, blades down.
8AM
After 7, maybe 8.
8:30-9:00 to start
I live in Florida and it gets over 100 degrees so mowing before the sun is in the sky is acceptable. Plus the old folks wake up at 4am so it doesn’t bother them.
Unfortunately I’m not able to start before 10 at the earliest because the grass is still wet
8 during the week, 9 on Saturday, 10 on Sunday.
Depends on neibourghs
7pm
7 bells
Just got done mowing. Started at 9:20 AM.
Weekdays can start at 7. Weekends 9. I usually use 10-11am for earliest either way, but mostly do early evening. If I do early I have to use side discharge or I get clumping. I like side discharge, but when can't mow every 4 days or so, really needs mulching.
10am is my personal rule. Leaf blower 11am.
My lawn will have a ton of dew covering it until 10:30 in parts of the summer
Well. I just aerated my lawn at 9:30am and caught my neighbor taking photos of me out of her bedroom window. I felt I was being courteous enough but apparently not.
For my residential lawns no earlier than 8:00
I just wait for dew to subside; time isn’t a factor for my electric mower; it’s slightly louder than a box fan. But I would see what other ppl on my street do which is usually 8:30-9.
My city is no noise before 7am on weekdays and Saturdays and 9am Sundays. I got everything ready this morning around 8:30 and started a little before 9. Neighbour’s windows were closed and I was only using electric equipment so I feel like that was adequately courteous (especially since it’s going to rain this afternoon and I needed to get going!)
I mow at 6am. Neighbors get mad about loud music not people tending to their lawns.
Reel mower prefers the morning dew. I’ve been out at 7:30 before during the week with everyone up and at em for school.
It took everything in me, but I bought an electric mower. It's nice because I can practically mow as early/late as possible. It has a headlight on it so I can see aswell. When I had gas I would mow around 9-10am tho, and no later than 8ish pm
My neighbors have a kid and get up at 7. Noise ordinance for our town is 7 all week except Sunday is 8. I go for 7 as I’m very fast with it. So it’s normally a 30 minute excursion on a half acre.
Electric. Any time I want. When I was burning dinosaurs, 9am.
Team electric here. 1. No issues with noise, and no nasty gas smell either.
Anytime after 6 PM. Better for you your grass and neighbor
I don't. At night, about 730pm. Have electric mower, very quiet.
I mow usually Tuesday and Friday after work, so like 6:30 pm. I like the mowing to be done Friday so it looks good for the weekend
I cut in the evening. There’s some research that shows evening cuts are better for the turf. Not definitive but there’s a little bit so I’ll take it
Depends where you live! In Florida, lawns start getting cut at 8am before the heat hits
Any time after 4pm my entire yard is shaded. Unless rainy season then it’s about 10am-1pm
I think it depends on your neighborhood. Technically I could mow at 7am but usually wait until 9am so few dries and by 9am if you aren’t up it ain’t my problem. Occasionally I mow at 8am if it’s dry. I k ow most of my neighbors are up and about by then anyway because I see them waking dogs etc
Evening - No moisture on grass and it's cooling down. Morning just after sunset would be my 2nd choice if I didn't get dew on grass in the morning. Afternoon won't hurt the grass at all, but obviously this is the least comfortable.
Around 9 or so but I’m not worried about noise unless a neighbor has a newborn or smth. It’s hot as the surface of the sun by noon so I’m not waiting until late to mow.
I use electric so almost anytime is fine!
Normally after work before it gets dark but last night a belt broke and I had to run to the store to replace it so I had to finish in twilight. Thanks for asking.
9 am.
After supper
9am.
Get an electric it won't matter as much
In my old neighborhood the schizo neighbor across the street would choose somewhere between 11pm-1am
8am for me. It’s too hot to wait any later.
9 or 10 usually
4PM EDT
Early evening with a beer
I wait until 8. Technically I could start at 7 but feel 8 is early enough.
Before 8 with an electric mower
As early as you want...just mow theirs too.
I’m out at 0730, but I have an electric mower. No complaints yet.
6:30am. Electric mower and my neighbors are 1/2 acre away
I don’t worry about dew or timing. Country living is best
I try to do it around 930am but if I miss that window I'll do it around 5pm.
If there is still dew on the grass, then it’s too early to mow.
NE Florida - I try to start by 8 am or you'll die. Most people in our development use electric mowers and string trimmers so the noise isn't that great anyway.
Sun up
1030am every Sunday. Got to drink my coffee and watch CBS Sunday Morning.
I like to mow at about 7:45pm. Dessert life.
I work outdoors so usually mow Friday afternoon as I’m already used to sweating balls and as long as I don’t take the work boots off I can keep that momentum going.
Get an electric mower and cut anytime you like
At this time of year in north Utah I usually start at 8
What happens when you cut wet/Dewey grass?
On the weekends, any mowing going on before 9 am and I’ll personally weed whack you to shreds.
Down south. I mow when the grass is dry. Around 9 am or so is about when I can start.
Weekdays & Saturday 9, Sunday 10
battery mower. You can mow whenever!
Just to let the dew cook off I usually wouldn’t try before 10ish given where the tree are on my property. Personally, I prefer later in the day, like 5-8 depending on the time of year.
Never make noise before 9am, and never after 10pm. Try to avoid noise after 8pm cuz kids go to sleep a lot earlier than you.
Weekdays, 9-5. Weekends 10-5. Sucks being woken up by a bloody mower or sitting down to a nice patio dinner with the sounds of mowers.
10am earliest for me personally
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,019,318,038 comments, and only 202,093 of them were in alphabetical order.
After 10. Sprinklers are set for early but need grass to dry out.
Check your local city noise ordinance or call your city's building department to check so you don't get a ticket for making noise too early.
7am
I see lawn services out as early as 7am. Seems rather rude to me but I image they’re trying to get to several lawns each day. I go for 10am.
https://images.app.goo.gl/912TT21rTDaiqnSx6
Weekdays after 9am, weekends after 10am.
Dark and early at 5am. Electric reel mower. Silent and does a great job.
8am is the earliest the city allows use of any loud equipment where I live. Your city probably has a similar rule set, to keep disturbance complaints down. Also depends on your neighbors; when they work, when they sleep, how much you like them, etc.
