You last cut it when????
1987. That's when the yard was last cut that I quoted today. I just quoted a cleanup. Not a big yard, not a front and backyard. Just a yard 20 feet by 30 feet. With my Kubota under normal conditions(like if it had been mowed in the past month), it would take me 5 minutes. I suspect it to take an hour to 2. I walked through the yard...back and forth dragging my feet trying to discover anything in the grass that would hurt the mower. I tripped over logs, sticks, and even a bumper off of an old Ford truck. The owner and I piled the sticks up to burn and he put the bumper in a clean spot over the fence where it can be lost again for 20 years. I asked him why it had been so long since they cut it and he said they've been living in Holly Beach since 1987 and haven't been to this house since then. Not once. They had relatives living here and they assumed that it was being taken care of.
Let's not even start on what is in the front yard...it's like one long redneck joke.
