We don't have a huge grass area - more garden than grass - so it takes DH maybe 45 minutes. No lawn tractor here. We live on a cul-de-sac in a subdivision backing up to woods and wetlands. We don't mow any shorter than 3 inches and only when it needs it while others literally scalp their lawns. Funny - when we moved here, everyone would mow their grass on garbage day and I thought it so bizarre.
