I'm hiring someone for lawn mowing for the first time and my yard is about 1/3 acre, nothing too complicated. I'm curious about what the usual rates are and how often people typically get their lawns mowed. Any advice would be appreciated!

There are a lot of factors that affect the cost, like how often you need it mowed and whether or not you have extra services like edging or fertilization. For instance, since I fertilized my lawn, I find myself mowing about twice a week to keep it nice. Just keep an eye on those add-ons because they can get pricey!
In my area, the average price is usually around $35-40 per cut, which includes trimming and cleanup. But in some places, especially urban ones, you might be looking at $100-$150 for the same size yard due to higher demand.
It really depends on where you live! I'd suggest getting a couple of quotes to compare. Chatting with your neighbors can also give you some good insights on what the going rates are in your area.
