Don't understand these kids today.
Since I made a LOT of money mowing I've tried to help the neighbor kids, and my brother's grandkids out by paying them to mow my lawn.
Tell them they can mow it every week, edge first, catch the first swath, then mulch the rest of the yard for $20. Can be done in 20 minutes or less, that's what it takes me. Or if they wait longer they need to catch it and I will pay them $40. But takes at least an hour if taller and they catch it.
They always go at least 2 weeks between mowings, if not longer. They mow then edge, then go around with a blower. They spend at least 3 times longer.
For me it was a lot easier and faster to mow a yard the same day every week. At mowing for half as much I made the same money.
