$20 is around ten pounds in English money I think. (I can't keep up with the exchange rate!) That would be a real bargain here. There are plenty of youngsters who would do the job but I am not sure how many have access to a mower apart from their family owned machine. Personally I would end up giving them more than that I think.
Going rate?

I likely would also... if I needed a mowing or two for some unexpected reason.
But I would also mow any of my neighbors lawns for free ... if it was a once or twice, fill in type of deal... And I'm sure there are many others here that would gladly help out if asked by their neighbor.
But then I love mowing and it would cost me a very little diesel and a short amount of time...
Again I am not talking about doing someones lawn all summer, nor am I referring to doing this as a contracted seasonal gig...

You get what you pay for! The kid down the street for $20 might mow it, if he trims it it'll probably be a hack job, and probably won't be edged either. A professional will cut trim and edge and leave no mess behind!:thumbsup:

Gabi... Some advice if your thinking of getting a service, Do not sign any contracts and do not tell them it's only going to be just a couple of cuts because they will automatically jack up the price, it could almost double so be careful.
Good neighbors will always come through...
Plus this gives you a chance to get to know your neighbors better, I have friends that live in town that have no idea who their neighbors are... I can't really understand that. :smile:KennyV
