It's a summer sound and basically white noise to me. </p> <p>Now a leaf blower, that's another story. I used to live by a retired gentleman who put much energy into the maintenance of his yard, and that dang leaf blower started every morning around 7:30 in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-926131 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 09:03:55 +0000 MamaMoose 926131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah this wouldn't both me. It's so freaking hot down here that I understand why people would want to do it at night. And honestly, the sound the mower makes is basically white noise... it doesn't wake my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-926130 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 09:03:40 +0000 regberadaisy 926130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: we do and the ceiling fan is on. :( LO's room is in the back of the house and we all use riding lawn mowers so it's loud.</p> <p>@looch: yea, it was cooler last night that we turned the air off which is why I opened the windows. I am totally <i>thisclose</i> to looking up what the local noise ordinance is. Mowing your lawn at night THREE times a week is a bit ridic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-926125 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 09:02:35 +0000 Dandelion 926125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around here, it's been raining so much, the grass is growing like crazy, but it's hard to get time in to mow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-926112 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:59:28 +0000 looch 926112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know! This has happened to us, but we have central air and the windows were closed, so it wasn't a big deal.</p> <p>if the weather was nicer, though, i would have been pissed and probably would say something. I am that neighbor though...i was pulling out of the driveway last night and another guy was WALKING HIS DOG on my front lawn, I stopped and glared at him, I think he got the message. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-926107 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:58:05 +0000 blackbird 926107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>maybe a white noise machine would help? our neighbor was power washing and mowing last night around 8pm or so....it's just so dang hot otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-926067 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:47:10 +0000 regberadaisy 926067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: I know, I know. DH tells me I'm being irrational. It's just annoying when baby is just starting to fall asleep and you hear the weed wacker get started up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-925064 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:40:24 +0000 littlek 925064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Wow, you have a big yard! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-925015 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:25:31 +0000 Turd Ferguson 925015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, I kinda get it. It's just now getting darkish at 9:30, I can totally see starting yard/lawn work at 8:00. A lot of times schedule-wise/weather-wise/etc., it's what works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-924870 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:48:30 +0000 regberadaisy 924870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea but you guys are all finishing up around this time. He/they have literally started mowing at 9pm!! We have big yards!!! It takes my DH 4 hours to completely edge and mow our whole property! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-924796 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:34:09 +0000 BoogieBea 924796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mow the lawn at 6/7 sometimes. It doesn't get dark here until close to 9:30 in the summers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-924786 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:32:33 +0000 yin 924786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boo. DH will only mow the lawn if there is still light outside. Even then he tries to be considerate and will only mow the front and save the rest for another day. We're also the ones who only cut the grass every other week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-924601 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:52:19 +0000 Bao 924601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH usually finishes ours up between 8:00-8:45pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-924589 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:51:08 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 924589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eek DH just did ours. But he's just finished work and away for the wknd so no other option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-924574 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:48:29 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 924574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband just finished mowing ours around 8:15! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-924553 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:44:21 +0000 Happygal 924553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can get this--you come home from work, eat dinner, wait till it cools off. Three times a week seems excessive though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-924523 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:39:22 +0000 T.H.O.U. 924523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both working so sometimes evenings are our only chance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-924514 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:38:02 +0000 autumnlove 924514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My FIL mows our lawn at night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-924508 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:37:17 +0000 avivoca 924508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done it (and at 6:30 am), but I have a reel mower so the noise factor is negligible. I only did it to beat the heat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-924503 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:36:21 +0000 jmarionsmith 924503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that is super annoying but maybe because of the heat? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mowing-the-lawn-at-night#post-924495 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:34:52 +0000 regberadaisy 924495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What the bleep?! It's 8:33pm and my neighbor literally just started his weed wacker which means he will be mowing his lawn next!! I had to close Lo's window.</p> <p>What is wrong with my neighbors?! They all mow their lawns like 3x a week and almost always at night?!!!! </p>
