- DMDarrell Ann MunroAug 20, 20252.0The mowing of the grass is the worst. They fly through each site and in doing so the grass in a whole is not cut. I see residents mowing their own lawn If I could afford a riding lawnmower or even a push mower I would get one and do it myself. The high lot rent of 1320 keeps me from doing so.
