It's a toss up: a crew of four guys will complete a yard is 25% of the time. My neighbor is out there for 2 hours on a Saturday morning while my yard is done mid-morning on a weekday in 30 minutes.
Probably your neighbor enjoys working on his lawn - many people enjoy gardening and take pride in doing it themselves. Used to be that was how you met a lot of your neighbors - during the summer when you were out there working on your lawns and sharing tips. Now you have 4 illegals peeing on the corner & throwing down the cheapest toxic poisons they can get away with so their greedy bosses can charge you for lawn maintenance.

And it is a lot faster to blow your debris on your neighbors lawn in 30 minutes than to pick it up and throw it up or mulch it which is probably what your neighbor is doing out of consideration for you.
Commercial areas are the worst driving through. We were on Jericho Tpke headed to the TOB festival in Syosset and there was a crew of landscapers blowing a visible cloud of dust into the streets right in front of a traffic-lined street of cars. It's citation-worthy IMO.
This past Saturday night I saw landscapers working on a business at 11pm!!!! Unbelievable. This was on Hempstead Turnpike in Bethpage, so no adjacent homes, but those who live behind the Ace Hardware could easily have heard this crew. 11 pm. Insane.
I read TOB allowable hours are 8am weekdays and 9am-5pm weekends. That's not relief from the loud drones that still last 30+ minutes. Of course I heard more today. Makes me want to pull my hair out. If I didn't have kids in the house, I'd just blast my music.
Question for the DIY landscapers. My lot is .5 acres. I'm pretty fit so I don't mind pushing a mower, but is it better to get a riding mower ( and whats a zero-turn?). Give me some mower recommendations.
Having lived in city condos my entire adult life, I haven't mowed a lawn since I was a kid living in Great Neck. But I'm looking foward to start mowing my own damn lawn.
We just got back from our quiet and peaceful condo in SW Florida and I already am looking forward to returning mid-June for the summer because we love the 92 degrees and humidity everyday. Today we have a neighbor who has the nerve to get a new roof installed. These illegals are hammering at 7:30am. This is unbelievable. There ought to be an ordinance not to start work until at least 9am. Then we have Mr. FDNY Disability Bob next door who is doing another bathroom reno in his house cutting tile in his driveway. The dust from the tile is blowing onto my new 2005 Outback. Oh good....here comes another school bus to disturb the peace with it's noisy brakes and smelly exhaust. You'd think parents should make their children walk because buses are noisy and pollute the air. I just cannot wait for the Southwest jet heading for Baltimore to fly overhead making racket and spewing jet fuel exhaust into the atmosphere over Long Island. We should all protest!

We have an 8am ordinance here and this morning they literally started hammering away at the house which is BEHIND the house across the street from us and I could hear it in my bedroom. 7:31am. They don't care about ordinances.
