Starting at about 12 or so, I mowed neighbors lawns and did yard work. There are no teenagers in your neighborhood?

There used to be. When I said I had my yard done by someone years ago it was a pair of teen brothers. They are probably in their 30's and married now. Here in Texas it's done by Mexican "landscape crews". When I am working in my yard, I'll see a crew show up across the street or a few houses down. They'll jump out and do those yards before I am halfway done with mine. The main reason I do mine is that it keeps me from turning a couch potato. I would rather work than exercise because by working I can sweat off a few pounds while accomplishing something.

But the point is that if I were not able to do the work any longer, I'd make other arrangements.

There are still teens out here that will mow your property if you are down for the count and not into having a neighbor bring their goats to trim it-the kids like to do it, probably because just about everyone has a riding mower-lots more fun than walking behind one for sure-I mow mine twice per year-it is all native grass-doesn’t need much cutting, if any. The neighborhood kids charge about $40-50 per 2 acres with a riding mower...
