Earliest time to cut the grass tomorrow??

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'm SE London and they're saying 23 at peak tomorrow. I think that's the hottest they're forecasting across England. 10am it'll only be about 19 degrees. I'm cutting my DMs grass but wouldn't consider before 10am.

BillieWiper · 30/05/2026 18:04

I'd not do it till about 11 but 10 I'd say is reasonable.

9 to me is too early to be noisy and potentially wake people up or disturb their morning routine. On a weekend.

09:00

MandemChickenShop · 30/05/2026 18:08

How long does it take? 30mins? 8am should be fine.

I don't cut my grass or use other noisy equipment on a Sunday.

Agreed. It might not be a byelaw but it's nice to have one quiet day a week.

PonyPatter44 · 30/05/2026 18:09

9am is reasonable, but check the weather forecast for your area, because its definitely changing tomorrow.

catgirl1976 · 30/05/2026 18:11

10am. Any earlier is just rude and selfish

smilesy · 30/05/2026 18:13

I would say 09. 30 -10.00 is reasonable. Although one of our neighbours mowed his lawn at 08.30….on Christmas Day! 😬

Gardeningsideeffects · 30/05/2026 18:13

9am here. I did mine at 9.30 this morning.

I wish the weather would turn here, it's still in the mid 20s tomorrow. Was 30 today.

Wishing for rain so next door can't light the fire pit AGAIN.

We started at 8 this morning, will be half past tomorrow. Massive garden and we both work all week so it’s got to be done

I usually do mine after work.

It doesn’t have to be done on a weekend morning, especially when it’s been dry most days.

Wingedharpy · 30/05/2026 18:20

Any time you like pet. I sleep like the dead😉

Exactly.

My ndn's keep us awake til 2am when they have guests so getting up really early (6am) to get on with watching TV very loudly or mowing the lawn 8am is fine with me😀

PeloMom · 30/05/2026 17:47

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

😁

TheCurious0range · 30/05/2026 18:28

DH was going to go out at 8 a couple of weekends ago and and I told him pre 9 was anti social on a Sunday. He went out at 9 and within minutes I could hear several other neighbours mowing, it was all done by ten then so also not disturbing lunches/BBQs etc

thetruthshallsetyoufreebutfirstitwillpissyouoff · 30/05/2026 18:30

I mean my kids are up at the crack of dawn so I wouldn't care as long as it was past 6:30 (just in case they're having a lie in). But now reasonably I'd say 9. That's the earliest for me letting the kids outside (though if my neighbour was mowing his lawn earlier I'd release them early).

Edited

Same, my neighbours are regularly out in the garden with music on/drinking with guests until midnight, keeping my kids awake so I have no qualms about waking them up with the lawnmower/kids playing in the garden at 8am!

8am

10am

AmazingGreatAunt · 30/05/2026 18:39

If you are in the U K 08:00 is fine. If you live where I do, there is not cutting grass on a Sunday, EVER.

KentCatLady · 30/05/2026 18:41

It depends how annoying your neighbours are…

Harhar · 30/05/2026 18:46

Next door might be annoying but other neighbours have to put up with their late noise and your early mornings. I wouldn’t start before 10.

Sunshineclouds11 · 30/05/2026 18:50

10 on a Sunday
