It takes me a half hour and it's very peaceful!
Damn, I pay $95/month, mow front and back weekly and trim hedges and palm trees once a month. I did the mowing myself when I first moved into the house and it was a pita. Would take me at least an hour or two to mow, edge and clean up. Plus in the summer I felt I was going to get a heat stroke or something out there.
