Earliest time to cut the grass tomorrow??

61 replies

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 was just thinking the same thing!
I thought 9 would be ok but it will be good to hear what others say

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

I would say 9 too. 9.30 even better if you can.

10am.

8am

Personally I would think 9 a.m is a reasonable time to cut grass on a weekend.
My feeling is if you live in an area where houses have gardens then normal garden maintenance activities at that time are perfectly acceptable.

9am on the weekend

10 am.

I’d say 10am. Don’t think there’ll be any difference in temperature between 9-10.

10am

10am on a Sunday, any eariler than that I would get the rage.

TotalBaloney · Today 17:22

Where are you? I’m in the midlands and the temp is dropping quite considerably tomorrow.

Notsosweetcaroline · Today 17:24

You don’t need to wait past 9.

Gertibear · Today 17:25

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

MrsJigsaw · Today 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!

6pm is better for the grass and the neighbours

JeremiaBoogle · Today 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.

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

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

My horrible neighbour was chainsawing at 8.15 am this morning.

10 am on a Sunday ….

Lonelycrab · Today 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.

UniquePinkSwan · Today 17:35

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

Letsgoanddoit · Today 17:36

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