Why Your Altoona Neighbors Are Getting Their Saturdays Back (And You're Still Mowing)

It's 7 AM on Saturday. While you're dragging the mower out of the garage (again), your neighbor just poured their second cup of coffee and headed to the deck to enjoy their perfectly manicured lawn. What do they know that you don't?

The Hidden Cost of Your "Free" Saturdays

Let's be brutally honest for a moment.

That lawn mower sitting in your garage? It's not just taking up space. It's stealing something far more valuable than the $400 you spent on it.

It's stealing your life.

Here's the math that nobody talks about:

• Average lawn mowing time in Blair County: 2-3 hours per week

• Trimming, edging, and cleanup: Another 1-2 hours

• Multiply by 26 weeks (April through October): 104-130 hours every summer

That's three full work weeks you'll never get back. Three weeks of Saturdays when you could have been:

• At Lakemont Park with the kids

• Fishing at Canoe Creek

• Actually relaxing on that deck you built

• Doing literally anything other than pushing a mower in 90-degree heat

"But I Save Money Doing It Myself!" (Do You Really?)

Let's destroy this myth once and for all.

Your Real DIY Lawn Care Costs:

• Mower purchase: $400-800

• Gas for the season: $150-200

• Annual maintenance: $100-150

• Trimmer, edger, blower: $300-500

• Your time at minimum wage: $1,040-1,560

Total: $1,990-3,210 per year

Professional lawn mowing service starting at $36/week? Total: $936 per year (26 weeks)

You're not saving money. You're paying double for worse results.

The 92% Problem Nobody Talks About

Here's something interesting: The Little Lawn Co. recently discovered they were missing 92% of their phone calls. NINETY-TWO PERCENT.

Think about that. For every 100 people trying to escape lawn mowing prison, only 8 were getting through.

Sound familiar?

Maybe you've tried calling lawn services before. Left voicemails. Waited for callbacks that never came. Finally gave up and convinced yourself that mowing your own lawn "isn't that bad."

Meanwhile, your neighbor figured out the secret: They called at the right time, or better yet, texted.

The Professional Difference You Can See From the Street

Drive down any street in Hollidaysburg or Duncansville. You can immediately spot which lawns have professional care:

DIY Lawns:

• Uneven cutting heights (that streaky look)

• Missed spots around trees and edges

• Grass clippings on sidewalks and driveways

• Brown patches from cutting too short

• Weeds taking over because who has time for that?

Professionally Maintained Lawns:

• Consistent, carpet-like appearance

• Crisp, clean edges along all walkways

• Perfect height for our Central PA climate

• No clippings anywhere they shouldn't be

• That "just mowed" look that lasts all week

The difference? Professional equipment and someone who actually knows what they're doing.

"What If I Actually LIKE Mowing?"

No, you don't.

You like the idea of a nice lawn. You like saving money (even though we just proved you're not). You might even like being outside.

But nobody likes:

• Starting a stubborn mower for the 15th week in a row

• Sweating through their shirt before 9 AM

• Getting covered in grass clippings

• Missing another family event because "the grass is getting too long"

• Spending Sunday recovering from Saturday's yard work

You know what people actually like? Having a beautiful lawn AND their weekend.

The Award-Winning Solution That's Been Here All Along

The Little Lawn Co. has been Altoona's best-kept secret for too long. They've won "Best Lawn Care Service" awards for 6 consecutive years, but here's the thing—awards don't mean much if people can't reach them.

That's why they've just revolutionized how they handle customer communication:

Can't get through on the phone? Text them. Missed their call? They'll text you back immediately. Want a quote? Get it by text in minutes, not days. Need to schedule service? Handle it all through text.

No more phone tag. No more voicemails. No more wondering if they got your message.

What Your Saturdays Could Look Like

Imagine this Saturday playing out differently:

7 AM: Instead of checking the mower's oil, you're sipping coffee 8 AM: Instead of edging walkways, you're making pancakes with the kids 9 AM: Instead of trimming around obstacles, you're heading to the farmer's market 10 AM: Instead of cleaning up clippings, you're... doing whatever you want

Your lawn? It'll be perfectly maintained by professionals who:

• Show up when scheduled (every single week)

• Use commercial equipment that costs more than your car

• Know exactly how high to cut for each season

• Handle everything in under 45 minutes

• Leave your property looking better than you ever could

The Numbers That Matter

Let's talk real pricing (because The Little Lawn Co. doesn't hide their rates like some companies):

Weekly Service: Starting at $36.05

• Professional mowing at the perfect height

• String trimming around all obstacles

• Edging of walkways and driveways

• Cleanup of all clippings

• Weekly lawn health inspection

Can't swing weekly? Bi-weekly service starts at $46.87 per visit.

Special Discounts Available:

• Senior citizens: 10% off

• Veterans/Military: 10% off

• When 3+ neighbors sign up: 5% off each

• Annual contracts: 15% off

Do the math: For the price of 2-3 pizzas, you get your entire Saturday back.

Why This Saturday Should Be Your Last One Mowing

Here's the hard truth: Every Saturday you spend mowing is a Saturday you'll never get back. Your kids won't remember the perfectly straight mowing lines. They'll remember the trips to the park you didn't take.

Your spouse won't brag about how you edge your own walkways. They'll wish you'd spent that time together instead.

And you? You'll look back and wonder why you wasted so many perfect Saturdays on a chore you hated, to save money you weren't actually saving, for results that weren't as good as professional service.
