How many cuts a year do you cut? I say 42-44 here in zone 9b, south Louisiana.

I’d say somewhere around 30-36. Usually at least once a week when it’s growing. Stop around November and start up again in March/April.

Usually put around 50-75 hours a year on the mower.

My guess would be in the 25-30 range. South LA, St. Aug/Centipede.

~4 of those “cuts” are for leaf/debris management. Grass doesn’t really need it.

20-25, depending on rain. I’ve got a lot of clover and bees love clover.

52 weeks minus 2-3 months.

So 40-45ish.

My lawn guys cut weekly but there’s times it’s too wet to mow and the winter which they don’t cut unless I call them. I’ve had them mow once since November and probably will have them mow another time before growing season starts.

Probably around 32-35 times per year.

Probably ~60. I mow twice a week from mid-spring to late fall and once every other week from late fall to mid spring. NW Alabama.

Usually every Friday afternoon when it's growing. Once a month or as needed this time of year

I'm probably north of 100 mows. Reel mower and I never cut more than 1/8th of an inch off the blade.

Don't usually start until May, done by October. Didn't mow last June, it didn't rain. So, 20 I guess. Bermuda-ish, mid TN.

Used to be in the mid 30s when I had a grass lawn. Now that we've moved to a fully wooded lot with no grass, I pick up limbs and power blow about that many times a year.

Never. That's what my lawn man is for. I don't even own a lawnmower anymore.
