Is 10am too early to mow a lawn at the weekend?

I'm pushed for time and need to get this done otherwise it will have to be left for several weeks as I'll be away. On the other hand, I don't want to disturb my hard-working neighbours at the weekend. What do you think?

Of course not. 9am would be fine too.

Someone's got the angle grinder out here already so I'd say crack on!

OMG do you live by me. Neighbours got theirs out at 8.30am and then continued all morning pretty much constantly. Fucking twats.

No

9am is fine on the weekend.

Anything after 9 is fine and I say this as the laziest person on earth who loves to lie in and lounge about as much as possible but people have to live their lives.

Tinybrother · 27/05/2023 14:54

agree anything after 9am. I let the children go in the garden after that time

MyFaceIsAnAONB · 27/05/2023 14:56

10’s fine. But it’s No Mow May! 😰😰

I used to be very considerate, no mowing before 11am or after 5pm, never on a Sunday but i ve since realised the 99.9% will do what they want, when they want & don't give a fuck about anyone else.

@BorisisaLune your username helps explain in part why.

I think 10am is fine, I was a bit pissed off when our neighbours (who are lucky enough to be retired and who spend most of the week in the garden enjoying it) decided to mow at soon after 8:30 last Sunday morning.

PumpkinPie77 · 27/05/2023 15:25

If you're going away, why do you need to do it this weekend? Just wait until You're back. It's No Mow May. The wildlife will thank you!

NeverTrustAPoliceman · 27/05/2023 15:36

I think 9 am is fine everywhere. However, we and our neighbours are all early risers so wouldn't mind anyone mowing earlier. If its the weekend they've probably got up and gone off for the day well before 8 anyway.

Bonkerz · 27/05/2023 15:36

No but 6:57am is too early to let your loud 3/6 year olds out in the garden. Sorry I'm tired lol

Redebs · 27/05/2023 15:54

9am is fine for mowing

10.30pm is not ok for my neighbour's yappy dog!

We've now got the constant drone of a power washer. We're still in a hosepipe ban because our reservoirs haven't filled up over the winter, but of course some selfish twat thinks they know better.
