Why?

Normally neighbors introduce themselves and welcome you to the neighborhood. Some bring baked goods or a basket with wine/crackers, etc. If you see them in the yard or on the sidewalk, introduce yourself.

What is an acceptable time to cut the grass?
Be considerate, some folks like to sleep in or maybe hungover. After 9am or later on the weekend would be alright.

Hang it loud and proud in your backyard

Ehh, you have to feel them out and decide whether you want to be social with your neighbors or whether you want privacy. Give it some time before you invite them.

Because if you live in a densely populated neighborhood and use an internal combustion lawn mower, it will likely be loud enough to wake your neighbors even several houses down. A whole hell of a lot of people like to sleep in on weekends, so cranking up a mower when a huge percentage of people around you are sleeping isn’t very considerate.

I’ve lived in a subdivision with bigger lots, apartment complexes, old neighborhoods with very small yards, etc and I’ve never not been able to sleep in due to someone mowing their lawn

Lucky you. I’ve been woken up many times at 7 by aggravating neighbors mowing their lawns on a Sunday morning. They can rot in hell.

Walk into their yard and take a massive shite on their doorstep. Assert your dominance early on

Well, bars are open till 2, so I often don’t get home on a weekend night until 3+

Sorry I’m not eating dinner at 4 and in bed by 8:00pm every night.

Productivity isn’t exactly what I aim for
And the right to enjoy my leisure time to the extent it does not infringe on the rights of my neighbor to enjoy his property is my right as a free American. Me sleeping in doesn’t impede your enjoyment of your property, but you mowing your grass early impedes my enjoyment. Just like I make sure not to play loud music after 9:30/10:00pm on a weekday, please don’t mow your grass before 9:00am on a weekend so people who want to can sleep.

A lot of good happens leading up to 2. It’s AFTER 2 when good things rarely happen.

Our new neighbors introduced themselves and have come over and chatted a few times if they've seen us outside. They are currently renovating/remodeling the house. He's having a
BBQ for the neighbors when they get moved in.

Wouldn't hurt.

Check your local noise ordinances. In BR it's 0700 on weekdays and 0800 on weekends.

No, but that's just me. I don't politic on my cars or at my house because there are too many insane people in the world.

That would be right neighborly of you, but don't give them the impression you're in to "the lifestyle."

Swingers tend to use the pineapple as a coded symbol that they’re a part of that lifestyle. If they’ve got pineapple clothing, dishware, wallpaper, or pineapple motifs in their furniture and accents, then there’s a good chance they’re down to clown.

That can't be right. My parents have always had those.
