U would be doing the crew a favor. Most services charge a flat rate/ contract. They get paid monthly. If you cut it, they won't have too. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Of all of the stupid, inconsequential things to worry about.... Is that guy retired/older? It's a lawn crew that cuts her yard. That's why I think it'd be funny to just offer to cut her yard for free so they lose the business. I have a 33" walk behind and it would take me like 10 extra mins. Except she can cancel the service. |

Simple, get yourself a land survey and do one of two things, either build a nice fence or have a stake line run to show exactly where the property line is.
I do this quite a bit at work and there is always someone who wants to be a cocksucker about it and pull up the stakes. But the best part is when the find out they have to pay to put them back in (assuming you can prove they did it of course) |

Some people are mighty particular about their lawn.
I was at a pool party at a friend's house and she had two managers and a bunch of employees from one of the big lawn care companies crawling in her mulch beds. They had used a blower to remove the grass clippings from the walkways, but the clippings were blown into the mulch. I will give those guys credit. They got all the clippings out. Took them at least three hours. |

They need to sharpen the blades. Your side looks a lot better. |

I hate cutting the grass so I wouldn't give a fuck about the note.
If it bothers you I like the offer to cut neighbors yard for free. Sounds crazy to me but I can admire crazy. Sound like lawn crew cares enough to want to do a great not just a good job. What are his options knock on door or leave note. I would rather him leave a note. If he came to my door I would asked him to cut my lawn for super cheap just so I wasn't fucking his mind up. |

I had an asshole neighbor one time that got mad I was "shooting grass clippings into his yard" even though I made 2-3 48" passes blowing the grass into my yard before I turned around to go the other way.
He still bitched, so I just stopped cutting the last 6 feet of my lawn. For an entire summer. He couldn't come onto my property to cut it (I reminded him not to come onto my lawn in our last conversation) even though it drove him nuts because he was a yard nazi. So instead of being a decent person and working it out he had to stare at a giant mosquito infested weed wall for a summer. The next year I kept it cut and never heard a fucking word from him again.  |

I used to cut the lawn next door, for like three years, as it was basically abandoned. Every time I mowed mine I did the one next door just so it didn't look like shit. Then the house was bought from the bank and the owners hired someone but they only came once a month.... and damned if I was going to do it for free when someone else was being paid. Thing always looked like shit after that.

step 1: spray paint a 2-ft. wide line on your side, up to the property line, running the entire length of the abutment of properties. step 2: post "NO TRESPASSING" signs every 6 feet or so along the painted line. step 3: sit on porch with rock salt-loaded shotgun and wait for transgressions into/across your DMZ. |
