Very steep slope

[exotion]

The best way would prolly be mow down walk around and go down again if possible. However that's time consuming I would just get rly good at trimming than blow the clippings off to one side or down and raking them up

Thanks for the input guys!
I can get some pictures next week when I do it again. I don't have the % grade, but it is very steep. Almost a freaking wall. I have a hard time standing on it.

Thing is I don't have a fwd mower. I do have a cheapo push mower. Would that be ok? I just don't like the look of it trimmed since there are lot of grass clippings all over the place

Assuming you have other clients, If you can't do it with a push mower the best thing you could do is tell her to find someone else to cut the lawn and move on because your not making any money there because your spending to much time doing it.

I adjusted my price according to that.

Very steep slope that's hard to stand on isn't much for us to go on for giving advise. Pictures or not, take a level and a ruler with you and get the rise over run numbers to work with on the steepest portion of the slope. If you aren't familiar with that just ask and we'll help. If you slip and the push mower runs over you there is no price worth it. Same for a riding mower that loses traction and has a run away. You may spend half the extra money on a laundry bill.

Allright, I will try to get that for you.

I keep a cheap push mower [ snapper from wal mart....250 dollars...self propelled ] for the place like this I have to cut.......if you use a weedeater it is going to wear the weedeater out quicker.......faster to use push mower......I have tried both ways

I have a steep hill, about 200 ft long and 10 ft wide, I do as much as possible going side to side with one of my push mowers, but most of it is so steep that I have to use the trimmer. It sucks.

You know sometimes when the designers are thinking about it they forget about maintenance. It happens let your price reflect it
