best lawn mower half acre image
anuchetan@
I am mowing a pretty big lawn with a walking mower. The yard is about .45 acres.
I was thinking of 30. It takes me approx. I have these peoples lawn with a riding one before and with front and back it took me approx. 1 hour, 20 mins. But the riding has a wider base so it cuts more at a time.

Hello my friend-
I would call a couple professional lawncare providers and get a quote, as if it was your yard. Depending on the time you invest (edging, pruning, weeding, etc.) deduct 10-20 dollars from their (sometimes exorbitant) fee. I charge 40 dollars for about that size; I use their gas and edger. Hope this helps.

How often should I have my mower blades sharpened?
Q. I recently purchased a new zero-turn mower and I was interested in knowing how often I should have my blades sharpened if I am going to be mowing multiple residences all summer long. Probably around 30 yards every 2 weeks or so for about 4 months.
Answer
You need to sharpen the blade ( or blades if you have more than one on the cutting deck) about every 15 times you cut a half acre. So if you were cutting 7.5 acres you should sharpen the blade every time you cut the lawn (since there are 15 half acres in 7.5 acres). This will speed up the rate you cut and reduce the amount of gas you use because you will cut faster and it will require less energy to cut the lawn.
Probably the best reason for sharpening that frequently is a dull blade will result in the grass drying out quicker and therefor a browning lawn. A sharp blade helps keep the lawn green and even.
I recommend having at least one or two extra blades so while you are using the blade on the mower the other blade can be sharpened at your leisure and installed readily when you are ready to change the blade.
Of course if you hit some large objects such as small rocks or sticks you may need to change the blade sooner than that.
