What kind of obstacles are you trimming around?

Any push mowing or all riding?

How much surface blowing is there?

Do you have to bag?

Can you dump on site?

Do you have to include leaf clean up in your contracted price?


I can come with more questions that are site specific. Mowing has so many variables that change from site to site that it is almost impossible to give you a fair answer.

If it were wide open, not much trimming, no blowing, no bagging, no trash pick up, and you live 100 feet down the road, I would say 4-6 hours.

Two of our HOA's are around the 5 acre mark, one takes 13 man hours, and the other takes 22 man hours. They both have about the same amount of mowing, just completely different set up and trimming and blowing times, as well as trash pick up from one being beside a major road.

Just some things to think about.
