Ask yourself how much you'd pay a guy to do the same job.
Give them that.
If money is tight, explain it and say "thanks but I'll have to cut my own yard in the future unless you want to work for apple pie as my budget is pretty strict."
If it's a fair price, and one you don't mind paying again, then tell them, "here's x amount and I'll give you the same twice a month if you want to continue to mow it for me."
Have some fun with life, don't get all pissy like most people would. It's just not worth it. And be thankful! They cut your yard. That's pretty cool.
While I agree it's pretty weak to expect payment for something that one might do out of the kindness of their heart, don't call them out on it and tarnish what could be a good thing. Just guide them appropriately to your needs.
turns out you cant even put a fence up past your front door.
got a note on my door saying i was in violation of deed restrictions. My response, that . So the neighbor will be getting a love letter from the HOA sometime in the next 24 hours saying his fence cant be erected.
Cook some breakfast tacos and leave him at his doorsteps. then the next day bring him a bill for the tacos in his mailbox. throw in some taco bell fire hot sauce packs and charge him a dollar extra for hot sauce.
They were on your property without your permission. Where I come from thats known as trespassing. Its really as simple as that.
If they want something for that then I would tell them to go find a nice bus get in it pour kerosene over themselves and promptly light a match.
Well it's been two weeks since my neighbor cut my grass. I chose not to pay her. I think she got the message!
Unless you're a rag bag who doesn't mow their lawn or take care of , I would tell him not to do it again and don't pay him a dime.
If you are a rag bag who needs that kind of support, just waive to him and say hey bud, thanks for mowing my lawn and leave it at that.
Yeah, if they did this unsolicited, tell them thanks for being a neighbor but you prefer to do it yourself. If they insist on payment for a job you didnt agree to pay them for, tell them to off.
Don't use the mailbox. If you piss him off, and he knows the law, you could get in legal trouble.
