My neighbor was mowing their lawn around 6 P.M., and I know this might sound dramatic, but it honestly bothered me more than I expected.
I get that people have busy schedules, and sometimes yard work has to happen whenever there’s time. Not everyone can mow in the middle of the day, and I understand that.
But after a long week, that early evening time is when a lot of people are trying to eat dinner, relax, or finally enjoy a little quiet. So hearing a mower going for a while right outside can feel pretty frustrating.
I’m not saying people should never do yard work in the evening. I just think there’s a balance between taking care of your property and being mindful of the people living nearby.
Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I do feel like neighborhood courtesy matters, especially when it comes to noise.
Be honest, would mowing around dinner time bother you, or is 6 P.M. still a totally reasonable time?
