It's hard for me to imagine having no lawn. :) But if you aren't, then I guess there is no reason to take the mower to the new house. You could always take it and if you find you really have no use, sell it then. It will be a real pain if you find you could use it and don't have it.

We only have half an acre here and hubby bought me a big riding mower. Well not wide cut but a powerful mower. We do have quite a bit of lawn. It would take me close to three hours to push mow it. Even when we had small lawns we always kept a mower. We always kept a large area mowed down around the house for fire safety for one thing. We had a 100 dollar mower for years as our only mower. I do not mind pushing a mower . With all else I have going on I need to keep every thing as simple as possible. I would say keep the mower.

We just bought a mower on Craigslist...because the riding mower won't fit in our garden paths. And this one has a mulcher, so no blowing grass all over my plants! LOL If you really don't think you'll have any grass....but we need a green space around our place.

what will you have if not grass? when I moved out into the desert I gave away my push mower and weed whacker. now I find I could use the weed whacker.

i'll probably be buying another one this next yr. I can't keep up with pulling the weeds that sprout up after the rains.

of course, I don't have grass... guess I shouldn't say 'of course' anymore - so many 'city folks' have moved out into the desert and have put in grass - ugh!

Sold it! LL, we are going to have a pretty big gravel swath around the house. The landscaping will be beyond that, mainly so snakes and other critters won't have an easy time sneaking up to the house.

Well keeping the rider is good. I did keep the push mower but should let it go. I really do not use the little one any more. I used to. Now I spray. Yes I am one of those kind of people but I am very careful with it and use it sparingly.

We have 7 acres, but only about 1/2 acre of 'lawn'. I have what I call a farm lawn, consisting of whatever comes up, kept mowed a few times a year. It gradually turns into grass, as most other plants can't handle being cut back too many times. The problem we have is that our lawn area is a number of small patches, rather than a continuous swath. I bought a very small rider, and even that requires a huge amount of maneuvering. The real answer would be a zero-turn, but they are quite pricey. With all that, I've managed to create some areas where the rider won't reach. I can mow it with the weedeater, but it doesn't look the same. I may pick up a cheap little mower for spots like that.

This year, I planted a small experimental patch of real grass, tall fescue. It is gorgeous and soft! Time will tell how it handles our summer heat. I'm really opposed to spending time, money, and water on a 'crop' that I can't eat!

We have over 5 acres but like mushcreek only about 1/2 acre of "lawn." We have centipede - the lowest maintenance, easiest and most tolerant of the warm season grasses. It would hardly ever need mowing if it weren't for the weeds! Sometimes just taking the weedwacker to the weeds and the edges gives us an extra week before we have to mow. We have never had a riding mower. We have a basic push mower. After I retired I finally convinced DH to let me take over the mowing. It's great exercise, but I really have to take my time especially in the hottest months.

Jay I totally agree the ZTR is insanely expensive. This is what Joe bought for me. It is a Toro 30 inch deck. We have a terribly ruff lawn. I sprained my ankle and fell down several times push mowing it. I would love to level it. Maybe some day. For now it is what it is. Joe's decision to get the torro was to try to keep from ever having to buy another mower. It was on a big sale at the time. I asked for the ZTR as we have the one smaller lawn with sharp turns and oddly shaped lower lawn.

We also have some grass some green weeds. I do not do the fertilizer weeding I probably should. As long as it is green and mowed I am good. For me the lawn is easier to take care of than the flower beds. I lived for years with out much lawn. I liked it that way too.

We live in a colder winter climate than many of you....with a lot of spring rain. I LOVE my grass, because it's the one thing I can walk on that holds up to wet clay and doesn't slide around! LOL It's pasture grasses (about 7 types) and a few weeds, but if you water and keep it mowed, it looks great.

Also, this grass is wonderful for the horses. Every time my mom says anything about 'grass in the garden beds' I point these things out to her. She's slowly coming to appreciate it...outside of the garden beds. : )

I grew up on a 2 acre lot - my parents had the big mower, and TWO of the small push mowers. They got used for tighter areas.

MY new best friend, a Zero turn mower, tried and true riding mower(with attachments), a push mower and a weed eater all call our homestead home! There are just so many different applications for us here on the farm But, if you don't need one, selling yours could be just the ticket :) .... EDIT oops I see you sold it, sorry for adding to the post!

My parents had two acreages and both had very small lawns and for the dogs that was reason for those. And we used a hand push mower to mow the lawn.
