My back yard looks like it hasn't been mowed in a year. Granted, it's only been mowed twice in the past year but still :-x

The grass is so tall that it's falling onto itself and you can't see your feet when you walk on it. Sometimes, I can't find my dogs right away when they're back there (true story).

What's a reasonable amount to pay to have someone do this for me? My hubby is coming home soon from his deployment and I'd totally make him do it but I'm sure he's gonna be tired and I don't want to nag him about doing it :p

Thanks!

LOL! I think 20-30$ is reasonable. Our yards are not that big here. 10$ for the small yards even. We had a patch of grass (literally) in Greenwood. But now we have a good sized back yard, but it only takes 10 minutes at most to mow.

E-mail the guy who has an ad on LYS! My yard hasn't been mowed in almost two months, and I have majorly slacked on the poop scooping since hubby left. The guy's name is Jason. It was $30 since the grass was so high, but if I need it done again he said it'll only be $20. He took care of the poop too. It looks awesome. He's really nice and lives somewhere on main post. He was able to cut mine the day after I e-mailed him.

I think $40 or less is reasonable. It sounds like that guy is punctual and does good work.

Because it's so overgrown and will need a little extra lovin', I'd say $40 is fair.
