When is the earliest you should start mowing on the weekdays? How about Saturdays? And Sundays?
Over the summer I started on weekdays at 7:30a.m. On Saturdays I start at 9:30-10:00 and on Sundays, I try to do it after lunch.

I start on weekdays Monday thru Saturday at 7:30a.m. On Sunday I don't mow. I leave people alone unless it's a request.

What time is appropriate to some is not to others. For example a lot of people do not work on the Sabbeth day at all. :shocked:

I find that if I arrive at my first Job at 8 it is late enough even the people who sleep in cant complain to much. As for weekends... I am to good for weekends

I start at 7:30 in the summer because I want to get a lot done before it gets too hot.......most people in my neighborhood work, so they are up and out, and the people who sleep in....well...hopefully they are sound sleepers! :laughing:

I start as soon as the dew is off the grass.

I have never understood why some want to start as soon as the sun comes up then be done before 2.
I wait for the dew to be gone cutting wet grass leaves brown tips.
And I work till dark and never on a Sunday that's just asking for trouble
