To think 8pm is the cut off point for lawn mowing?

[Jemimapuddlemuck]

DH thinks 9pm is OK but I think that's too late. Yep these are arguments debates we have these days, our lives are that exciting. Anyhow what is the MN verdict?

9pm, like the watershed

It's 10:30pm for "noisy lawn equipment" according to the council here.

In reality, nobody does it after 9pm.

Definitely 8 but 7 would be betterespecially at the weekend interferes with pre dinner drinks other wise. I need to enjoy my G and T in peace.

While we're about it what time is too early???

I don't know but I love the sound of mowers, especially when going to sleep!

I think 9pm. DS2 loves white noise and flatly refused to sleep when he was tiny. DH used to take him into our garage, get out the mower, mow the lawn with him in the sling and get the little bugger to sleep. That mower saved my sanity. Our neighbours eventually realised what was going on and would let DH do their lawns, too. They clearly think we're batshit. Least of our batshit issues, that.

Week days, mow your heart out.

Mowing on weekends should be banned.

My next door neighbour used to mow his front lawn at 7am - whilst dressed as Elvis...

My neighbour is mowing right now

Anything before 9am or after 9pm is unsociable IMO

I'd say 9pm as well.

Whenever it's light enough to see in the evening. Mornings-not before 8.

I love the sound of a lawn mower in the evening, it really sounds like summer to me

In the morning, be prepared for death if you wake me up mowing the lawn

8pm or the kids won't sleep. I remember laying in bed as a child wishing it would stop!

We find it hard as dp works Saturdays and no one seems to make a peep around here on Sundays. ..so are currently sporting a wild garden.

9/9.30pm

It depends on the size of the gardens. I think up to 9pm ish is fine. I love sitting in the garden and smelling freshly mown grass. I find it quite soothing.

I'm going to be grumpy and say 7.30pm. My previous neighbours used to start at 8.30pm with the strimmer wouldn't mind but they was in everyday all fucking day.

One morning last week my neighbor started moving at 6:45. I was not impressed.

9pm but our lawn takes about 5 minutes so I would mow up to 10pm if I could still see.

Are you an old gimmer? You sound like it...

In the evening until it's too dark to see (can always turn on flood lights if necessary though!)
Not before 6 am in the morning, though I have cut grass at 4:30 am before now

No I'm not an old gimmer I'm thinking of people with little kids getting them to sleep mainly. I remember when DD was a little baby I'd have cheerfully strangled anyone who woke her up after an hour of rocking and shushing! DS could sleep through the apocalypse so it's never been an issue.

9pm

As long as it's light in the evening so up to nearly 10 and not before 8 in the morning

I think 8pm, our neighbours once were outside DD's window with two petrol mowers at 10.30pm, one very upset DD who couldn't sleep, was not impressed!!

If you're out at work all day, and it rains for 3 consecutive weekends then a dry evening is fair game

I say that safe in the knowledge that my children will sleep through anything

7pm. Any later I'd go nuts as Kids hate the noise of them.
