Why do people still mow their lawns today?

The fact that you could hire somebody to do it, I don't see the point of mowing my yard. I mean, it's like hair - it's going to grow back anyways. Lolz. Plus, I work 5 days a week and about 9-12 hours a day, so I don't see the point of mowing my yard. It's a huge waste of my day too. Nothing against you people that loves to mow your yards, I just don't see the point. Maybe it's because I'm lazy, even though I work 5 days a week and 9-12 hours a day? I don't know.

To all you people that mows your yards: why do you mow your lawn?

Growing up, I made a lot of my money (aside from my job) mowing my parent's and neighbor's lawns. Back then, $20 a lawn wasn't bad -- I bought my Six Flags and Sea World season passes, video games and other stuff in general, that my parents just weren't able to afford. As an adult, however, my wife and I are so busy with work, running a business (and also attending law school, in my case), so we pay it forward by doing the same, what others allowed me to do.

Sure, it's not glamorous work, but for some, it can be a means to an end. One thing I've noticed though... lawns are a LOT more expensive to cut these days :P

lol The company i work for has a company come in twice a week to cut the grass. So last year it didn't rain for nearly 2+ weeks and grass wasn't growing AT ALL and i was walking by and asked dude while he was driving one those standing lawn mowers and asked him "WTF are you cutting?" while no cut grass was flying out? He just shaked his head and said "apparently nothing" lol i just laughed

I typically would not pay someone to do something I am fully capable of doing myself.

It's actually something I enjoy doing unless it's 100 degrees outside.

This could go up for dumb thread of the year...

Why pay someone when you could easily do it yourself for free?

No other reason is needed. Just like this thread wasn't needed. What a stupid question.

Because not everyone can afford to have someone mow it and some people for some reason enjoy it. 

I loved being a spoiled brat as a kid and never having to touch a lawn mower or anything work related. Had entirely too much land anyway, just paid the people who lived around us to do it. UniversalBread

Mowing the lawn is a privelage. King of The Hill taught me that.

Well the grass in our garden (I'm too common and it feels weird saying lawn) takes about 10 minutes to cut. Those people who take an hour doing it must be really slow or have gardens the size of farms.

Well the grass in our garden (I'm too common and it feels weird saying lawn) takes about 10 minutes to cut. Those people who take an hour doing it must be really slow or have gardens the size of farms.

Because I'm not going to pay someone good money to do something that I can easily do myself. That's just throwing away money.

Why pay someone when you could easily do it yourself for free?

just some bum/kid is going charge $20-30  company charge you 50+. I can cut my lawn front, back, very back(kinda break back yard in half has we have a creek running through my yard.) I can cut in all in 45 minutes with a push lawn mower,

 I can't make that amount of money in 45 minutes.... 

I do let it get out of control sometimes because i really don't care. By doing so it makes it harder and make it look like trash

Anyways back in high school I had 13 lawns i  would cut every week and 4 more every 2 weeks.  Quite good money but, sucks has it's was only seasonal job. 

This thread has taken an entertaining turn.
