Earliest time to cut the grass tomorrow??

138 replies

TakingThePeanutsCarol · 30/05/2026 17:16

I’m on a new build estate, so lots of people living around me. I need to cut the grass tomorrow but want to do it as early as possible to avoid the heat - health conditions make it too difficult once it warms up. Obviously I don’t want to be a dick though 🤦‍♀️

What’s the consensus? 9am???

I think 10am on a Sunday is reasonable.

I think it would be better to do it now rather than early tomorrow

Not sure. Champions league final is on, lots of people out enjoying their gardens as it’s a nice evening, at least where I am. Plus it’s actually likely hotter than it’ll be before midday tmro.

Gizlotsmum · 30/05/2026 17:52

As someone else said could you do it this evening ( before 9pm)

8am

Not at the weekend.

Tableforjoan · 30/05/2026 17:48

I’d expect that despite my sleep the world goes on by 8/9am

Unlike my neighbours builders starting at 7:30am again.

8am

If someone did that to me in the weekend I’ll be throwing eggs in their garden. It’s inhumane!

9 is courteous
10 is kind
8 is merciless
7 is the devil

Stoicandhappy · 30/05/2026 17:40

Yeah 9 should be fine

DiscoBeat · 30/05/2026 17:39

9 if it's people can hear it as a hum a few gardens away. 10 if you're close to neighbours and it could wake them up.

Letsgoanddoit · 30/05/2026 17:36

9am although it won’t be hot anywhere tomorrow. Today’s the last day of it.

UniquePinkSwan · 30/05/2026 17:35

9 is fine. It’s just another day where millions of people are already out working

Lonelycrab · 30/05/2026 17:34

I’d say 10.
Obvs can be a bit earlier but I just think it’s courteous to those that might want a lie in.

Vivienne1000 · 30/05/2026 17:29

10 am on a Sunday ….

faial · 30/05/2026 17:28

10am.

My horrible neighbour was chainsawing at 8.15 am this morning.

6pm is better for the grass and the neighbours

I’ll be out in the evening, and then I’m away all week so it has to be Sunday morning 🤦‍♀️

Is it not cooling down in your area? We are forecast rain from tomorrow (possibly tonight) so did mine this afternoon

Certainly wouldn’t do it before 9

Nope, still hot tomorrow for me

9 is fine , we are SE and it’s forecast to be a lot colder tomorrow here .

JeremiaBoogle · 30/05/2026 17:26

9 am at the earliest I think. Personally I wouldn't mind earlier - thankfully as one of my neighbors once mowed his lawn at 11pm 😂, but recalling threads on here noise in the neighbor's garden can be a considered a Bad Thing.

Nearly50omg · 30/05/2026 17:25

MrsJigsaw · 30/05/2026 17:25

I settled on 10am this morning being the earliest time to start, although ended up being nearer 11 by the time I got started!

Gertibear · 30/05/2026 17:25

I’d say 10am but I wouldn’t be very happy if I were still asleep and it woke me up.
