    When the sun is out any kind of outdoor work and noise is fair game

    Get to know their neighbours. If they work shift you should be able to figure out a good time to do it. It's a bit of grass, it isn't going anywhere.

    If they were decent neighbours they would change their hours to suit your grass cutting time

    The grass is currently waist height round my back garden. Not down to laziness mind, I'm doing it for the bees and the environment.

    Its more just the decent thing to do, cutting the grass is a boring job anyway.

    I've been up since 6am with s kid, no one stops making noise at 9pm because I've gone to bed!

    Just because you aren't let out on the sauce yourself is not a reason to throw all decency out the window. What would you do if living in the countries that make it illegal to cut grass early on weekend mornings?

    On a different note , in my younger days circa 17/18 i did a bit of lawncutting but one house in particular had a pretty middlecclass couple, the husband worked in a bank and she was a housewife. mid 40s at the time . When i was finished cutting the lawn the first day i was there the wife informed me she wouldnt be paying me cash !!....i had one blissful summer but the same lady had about three of us cutting the lawn different days for a finish up...the grass couldnt grow quick enough for local young lads!....id swear shes still at it with local young lads

    Ok, now stick with me on this as it might get pretty technical....
    If if was illegal to cut grass before 10am, then I wouldnt cut the grass before 10am.

    What time is acceptable to cut the grass at weekends. ?

    Was going to cut it this evening but neighbours out having drinks, so will leave it till tomorrow.

    Would it annoy you if neighbours cut grass at say 10am?


    Its going to annoy me anytime you do it.

    The point being its obviously seen a quite an unreasonable thing to do when many countries outlaw it. Nothing worse than militant morning people thinking they are above everyone because they get up early.

    Not half as much as it will annoy me!

    Booked a garden guy to give it a good clean and tidy and some landscaping!

    Will see about getting him to call monthly to at least keep it in check. It's a nice space that I dont make the most of.

    By that logic its clearly *not* seen as an unreasonable thing to do in Ireland since we *dont* have a law about it.

    What countries have this law btw?

    One side sleep till 1pm or later, but that's too late for me.

    Will wait till after 10.
    How do you know they're asleep?

    We stay in bed until one at the weekend sometimes but we're not sleeping. Far from it. ;)
