DIY & Home Improvement

that the west is still in the worst drought in 1200 years and that lake Mead has never been lower... and you are planting a lawn? A lawn in the desert in the middle of a drought? This is foolish, although I'm sure a realtor would make an argument on giving the customer what they want.. If I were a buyer I'd be a lot more interested in some shade trees than yet another lawn that requires endless, endless watering...
But this doesnt address your question.. what sort of mower to get? A riding mower for sure, no one wants to push a mower around in the blistering desert heat. And a used one too, nice and cheap with a super inefficient motor that sucks up the $5 gas and trades you a cloud of noxious fumes in return. And you can just leave it for the new owner, so htat they can pump gasoline and water into that lawn forever more.
